I m from Edinburgh, Scotland and I am working full-time as an indie maker. As I am a self-taught developer often looking for inspiration from other programmers without degrees, I made the No CS Degree blog so I could interview people like Wes Bos and Lydia Hallie and find out how they were successful without a Computer Science degree. I ve recently made a job board for developers without degrees to solve my own problem as I d seen job adverts that were great until the final line requiring a degree which I think is becoming irrelevant as more coders do bootcamps or teach themselves. I made $198 on my first day and both products got to #1 on Hacker News and in the Product Hunt Top 10. I m here to answer questions about no-code, launching products, social media, building mailing lists, creating good habits and writing newsletters people actually open.

Hi Makers! We spend a lot of time focused on problems and obstacles, but research shows that there are benefits to acknowledging our achievements and celebrating our wins -- no matter how small. So let's use this discussion to share something we've done recently that feels like a positive. It may be something that happened in work life or personal life. Mine is that I recently accidentally adopted a stray cat, she's been a lovely addition to our house so far.
