On Thursday, I attended an incredible workshop by PHX FWD where Ryan Moorehouse (CTO at Ruck) completely shifted my perspective on building products in the AI era 🚀 The key insight? Code isn't the bottleneck anymore – it's turning ideas into something people actually want to pay for. Ryan walked us through a practical 4-step framework: - Customer Discovery (find the real opportunities) - Ideation (turn insights into features, fast) - Implementation (leverage modern tools to build lean) - Iteration (measure what actually matters) Then he blew our minds by live-coding a website in ChatGPT + Lovable in just a few prompts. So naturally, I had to try it myself... Meet "What's The Focal (Word)?" – an Irish language learning platform I built inspired by Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" and my new commitment to learning more about Irish culture and the revitalization of Gaeilge 🇮🇪 I was really impressed with how seamlessly we can go from idea to working prototype in minutes now. With tools like these, we can remove the timely and costly barriers to building community-driven solutions like never before. Shoutout to Ryan for showing that anyone with curiosity and an eye for solving real problems can build something meaningful. And to PHX FWD for consistently bringing world-class learning to our community. If you're interested in Irish language resources or want to connect about language learning, hit me up!
