Building an AI product from Egypt while working exhausting hours just to keep everything moving is honestly not easy.
​
I work long shifts for days sometimes, then come home and spend whatever time I have left working on the product.
The internet is slow. The resources aren't always there. And building something like this as a solo developer means constantly having to work around limitations that people in other places might not even have to think about.
But I think the hardest part isn't always the technical side.
It's the mental side of trying to build something ambitious while dealing with all of that at the same time.
There are days when you're tired, stuck, unsure if you're moving fast enough, and you still have to sit down and keep working.
The product itself is an AI infrastructure layer for e-commerce. I'm basically trying to solve a problem where most online stores give pretty much the same experience to everyone, even though different visitors obviously want different things.
What I'm building works across the UI, visuals, and product data. I can't really explain much more without giving too much away 😅. It's a pretty complex system, and I'm building it alone.
I don't plan on stopping. Whatever happens, I'll keep working on it and figuring things out.
But I'd genuinely like to hear from people who've been through something similar.
How did you deal with the pressure, the uncertainty, and the feeling that you have to keep moving even when the circumstances around you aren't ideal?
What kept you going?
