You Can Just Build Stuff Now

Coding used to be the gatekeeper. If you couldn’t code, your idea stopped there. That’s not true anymore.In this episode of Harry’s Hot Takes, I talk about how AI coding tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini completely changed what it means to build things — especially for people like me who aren’t software engineers.As a mechanical engineering student, most of my ideas involve hardware, prototypes, and physical systems. But almost everything needs code now. Sensors, motors, websites, interfaces. AI didn’t replace engineers — it removed the friction that used to kill momentum.I also explain how I used these same AI tools to build a real product and launch a real website, why “I don’t know how to code” is no longer a real excuse, and why judgment matters more than syntax in 2026.If you’re interested in AI, engineering, startups, product design, prototyping, or building things faster, this one’s for you.🎙️ Harry’s Hot Takes 🔥 New takes on tech, culture, and building stuffSupport the showFollow the show: 📸 Instagram: @harrys_hottakes 🐦 Twitter / X: @harryshottakessSponsor: 🎨 Artile — modular, customizable wall art 📸 Instagram: @artileco 🌐 Website: https://artile.shopNew episodes of Harry’s Hot Takes covering tech, AI, engineering, and culture.
