Why it might be time to ditch your code editor. In this episode, I talk about why building—not coding—is the skill that matters in 2025. Whether you're new to tech, running a business, or a long-time developer, this is your reminder that solving problems doesn't require code anymore—and that’s a good thing.

Episode Notes

🎧 Episode 37: Stop Coding, Start Building

If you're learning to code, launching a startup, or hiring a dev—you need to hear this.

In this episode, I talk through:

• Why code is no longer the starting point
• The shift from developer to builder
• Tools like n8n, Supabase, Bolt.new, and Cursor
• How AI and no-code platforms are reshaping productivity
• The real job of a developer (hint: it’s not writing code)

I’ve spent 20+ years in dev—Laravel, PHP, Rails, you name it—and I’m telling you: I’ve never written less code, and I’ve never built more valuable tools.

🛠 Mentioned tools:

• n8n
• Supabase
• Bolt.new
• Cursor

💡 Key Quote:

“People aren’t paying you to write code—they’re paying you to solve problems.”
