Most of my projects start the same way.
I get an idea that won’t leave my head, so I open my laptop and start trying to make it real.
That first part is usually exciting.
The problem comes after.
I’ve built an Epoch Gaming ID, an onchain project, a @WalrusProtocol memory project, an AI detector, a Farcaster mini app, and even a browser extension that later became an Android app.
But when I look back at all of them, I notice something.
Starting is never really the hard part for me.
I get excited about an idea, start building, and for a while everything feels straightforward.
Then I run into the first problem, and that’s usually where things start getting complicated.
I get one part working, run into another problem I didn’t expect, ask AI to help me figure it out, try a few solutions, change something, break something else, and sometimes end up changing the way I planned to build the whole thing.
Before I know it, I’m jumping between tools, searching for answers, testing things again, and spending more time figuring out how to make the idea work than actually working on the idea.
And that part can be frustrating.
Because sometimes I already know what I want to build.
I just don’t know what the next step should be.
That’s what made @mycelgarden catch my attention.
Not because I saw another project talking about AI.
But because I recognised the problem behind it.
