Back in January, I couldn’t code. At all. Not a single line. Six months later, I’ve somehow built and launched two AI-powered sites entirely by myself: 🌍 chickytutor.com — an AI language tutor for 70+ languages 🧠 llmhydra.com — basically a debate club for AI personas How? Not by going back to school. Not by grinding through a bootcamp. I just used AI itself as my teacher, debugger, cofounder, and occasional therapist when I wanted to throw my laptop out the window. Some background: I’ve spent the last decade in energy. Offshore wind, gas projects at Shell, billion-dollar bids even. But I got FOMOs and I wanted a new adventure. So I set myself a dumb little challenge: “What if I just use AI to learn how to actually build something?” It was messy. I broke so many things. I stared at Google Cloud docs until my eyes bled. I asked ChatGPT the same question 12 different ways until it finally clicked. I duct-taped React components together until they worked. But eventually, things started to come alive. Now I can say I’ve gone from zero to: shipping full-stack apps (React, Node.JS, Vite, Firebase, APIs, hosting) messing with LLMs (multi-agent setups, OpenAI integrations) doing product stuff (UX, branding, SEO, figuring out why users never click the button I really want them to click) and most importantly: actually building things that exist in the real world with paid users! This August, I quit my job at Shell and stepping into whatever comes next. Maybe a startup, maybe indie hacking, maybe something in climate + AI. Not sure yet. But if you’re sitting there wondering if you could pick up coding or start building with AI: you’re way closer than you think. If I can go from “literally can’t code” to launching two sites in 6 months… you probably can too.

@phanos_anastasiou The Shell to full-stack journey in 6 months is genuinely impressive - that's a massive career pivot with real output to show for it.

What caught my attention is the "perfect bridge from Duolingo to real conversations" positioning for ChickyTutor. We've seen this gap with our international team - people can read documentation but freeze up in actual calls. Your "AI as cofounder" approach for learning to code is exactly what more people should be doing instead of traditional courses.

1. Who It's For: Chickytutor is a great tool for intermediate speakers and even that very first speaking practice. It's perfect for learners who've already picked up some basics with apps like Duolingo and are ready to start speaking out loud without the cost and scheduling hassles of finding a tutor, and without the pressure of stumbling through conversations with native speakers before you're ready.

2. Speaking Focus: It's built around out-loud practice. You interact with a real-time AI voice tutor that responds instantly, correcting pronunciation, guiding word choice, and keeping you speaking throughout the lesson.

3. Core Method: Instead of memorization, you translate between your native language and the target language while reasoning your way into the grammar. The AI tutor explains why something is said a certain way, so you start thinking in the language rather than just memorizing phrases.

4. Simplicity: Super simple flow: pick a language → hit the mic → start speaking. Short focused sessions, no fluff, immediate feedback.

5. 70+ Languages: Chickytutor supports 70+ languages, including popular but hard-to-find ones like Japanese, Korean and Arabic that other apps don't handle as well. It also supports really niche languages like Norwegian or even Catalan so you can practice even if your target language isn't offered by the mainstream apps.

6. Real User Impact: Here's what one user said on Reddit: 'Your app is awesome! It got me over the first hump to actually speak Dutch, because I was still too nervous to practice with native speakers. Now I use Dutch confidently with my colleagues in the Netherlands and with people at my store in Berlin. Your app really made the difference for my speaking!'"

This is beautiful to be honest and I enjoyed using it for Korean 😊it needs to be out there especially for students who plan to study abroad in a country whose main language isn't English. I love the part where I can just communicate with voicenotes while it listens and corrects me (that was spot-on because some translators always commend you whether good or not 😂). If I use it more than 3 times, be rest assured that I'd add it to my collections. Thank you
