How I got here
I'm sharing my personal learning journey so others can learn from it too.
I'm Alex Weisberg. My background is enterprise learning, not traditional software engineering. Generative AI changed what I believed was possible to build on my own — so I started learning by making things.
I could go from noticing a problem to shipping a working prototype on my own, without needing a full engineering team first. That curiosity became a practice, then a public habit of building.
What motivates me is simple: I get an idea for an app that would make my life easier, or a game I'd like to play, and if it evolves into something that could add value for others, share it with the world. I build with AI assistance (Cursor and modern models are part of how I work), but I still own the judgment: what to cut, what to ship, and how the experience feels.
The other half of the work is translation. When I write in the Learning Log or walk through an app, I try to name the judgment calls: what I tried, what broke, what I'd teach someone else next. Clear language and real examples are how AI skill spreads.
This site is that practice in public. Apps are things people can use. Prototypes are questions I'm still exploring. Learning Log is where I share my learning with the world.
How I work
What I bring to a problem
Problem framing
Noticing real friction, then writing the problem clearly before writing code.
AI-assisted building
Using Cursor and modern AI tools to move from idea to working software faster, without skipping judgment.
Making AI learnable
Explaining tools, workflows, and tradeoffs in plain language so others can build skill, not just watch a demo.
Product thinking
Designing for adoption: clear loops, honest UX, and features that earn their place.
Shipping publicly
Putting apps on real URLs so friends, playtesters, and strangers can click, and so I can learn from that.
Learning in public
Writing Learning Log entries as I go (mistakes, judgment calls, and what clicked) so the journey is useful to someone else, not only a polished case study.
The path
My AI journey
This site is that practice: curiosity, rapid learning, and software shared in the open.
