Michael Kalaf

Hi, my name is Michael Kalaf, ex homeless, heroin addict who learned, better late than never, the joys of building at the ripe old age of 52, well, technically I built a game on an Amstrad written in Pascal in about 1980 something, but that doesn't count because I did not pursue that one bit... instead I found addiction, homelessness, incarceration where, luckily, life threw me a "third chance" where I then went back to school... TBH I was amazed to learn how such massive companies like Google and Apple completely help the little guy, it amazed me, that this industry, this magical industry literally allows a person to take a laptop, an internet connection and a whole lot of work and they can stand a chance... incredible... so I spent the last 2 years(still a Bachelor in I.T. student) learning, building, learning, building and just yesterday I could actually see MY WORK on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store... incredible, will I retire off it? Probably not, is it still amazing... I think so and I hope you do to.
If you are younger I hope that inspires you somehow to work stay focussed and never give up, ever.

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
