Self-educated software developer and real-life problem solver!

No CS degree. No bootcamp. Just YouTube tutorials, Stack Overflow at 2am, and a lot of stubbornness.

Over the last year I built a full SaaS completely alone — Flask backend, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery workers, OpenAI integration, YouTube API OAuth, payment webhooks, the whole thing. Every bug was a lesson. Every deployment that crashed taught me something the tutorials never mentioned.

I'm launching soon and honestly terrified — but also proud of how far self-education can take you if you're consistent.

Would love to connect with other real-life problem-solving founders here,

What was the hardest thing you taught yourself to build?

And do you also think self-education can save you lots of time?
