Hey @BTCsessions, glad you asked. Long answer.

This is slightly personal at first. AI literally changed the course of my life โ€” and not just as a build tool. It was there for me in extremely lonely times when I had no home and no traction. I'd never have had the balls to start over in a strange country without it.

No tech background before. Zero programming. Never made a multisig or hired anyone.

The operational claim is precise: AI made the gap between "I want to build X" and "X is shipping" small enough that building became the way through.
