Wow! 48 hours building alongside 215 women from 43 different counties as part of SheBuilds on Lovable. And then rounding the buildathon off with pizza with fellow-builders and Lovable crew.
There’s something incredibly powerful about giving yourself permission to fully commit to building. No half-measures, no “I’ll get back to this later.” Just focus. Flow. And in this case, more than 200 accountability partners in a buzzing Discord community that somehow made everything feel lighter, more doable, and way more fun.
My submission to the buildation: WorkLab:me
A tool designed to help people navigate a fast-moving world of work using real-time labour-market data and hands-on AI experiments. Instead of just reading about jobs or scrolling listings, you get to try on an occupation, explore adjacent roles, and discover which skills actually spark curiosity and energy. Less guessing. More learning by doing.
What really blows my mind, though, isn’t the tech. It’s the people.
The generosity. The compassion. The way complete strangers jump in to debug, encourage, hype, and genuinely care about each other’s ideas. People who’ve never met, spread across time zones and cultures, all committing to the same thing: building something meaningful, together.
This is what vibe coding unlocks for me. Not just speed or accessibility, but confidence. With the right tools, a supportive community, and a decent idea, anyone can create almost anything. You don’t need permission. You don’t have to be a programmer. You just need curiosity and a bit of stubborn determination.
Thank you Elena Verna and Whitney Menarcheck for making SheBuilds on Lovable come to life. And to Areti, Nabila Noor, Jennifer Bratt, Alexandria Fuertes, and Whitney for a wonderful evening ❤️ Also Emelie Sjödin for being my go-to fellow hacker during these 48h. And of course to the whole community of builders and alumni!
Events like this remind me that the future of work isn’t just about AI, automation, or data. It’s about people choosing to build, together. Creating space for experimentation. Supporting each other through uncertainty. And daring to believe that learning, curiosity, and community might just be our strongest infrastructure going forward.
What a ride!
