How I Built a Pseudocode Runner by Screaming at AI

Okay, so here’s the deal. I wanted a pseudocode runner — you know, that magical thing where you type “IF x > 5 THEN print y” and it actually runs instead of just looking like a grocery list.

Problem: I don’t code. At all.
Solution: Yell at AI until it does it for me.

Step 1: Idea (literally zero effort)

  • Me: “I want a thing that runs pseudocode.”
  • AI: “Sure, human. Hold my… uh… code.”
  • Me: stares at screen like it’s a magic portal Step 2: Aggressive prompting

AI wrote: parser, interpreter, editor UI, everything.

Me: Copy. Paste. Pray.

Commands I said:

“Make a web editor.”

“Run pseudocode.”

“Show output on the page.”

“FIX ALL TYPESCRIPT ERRORS”

It worked. Somehow.

Step 3: Pretend I’m a developer

Tiny webpage, AI-generated code, F5.

Users can type pseudocode → it executes → world still exists.

I call it a “win” and quietly put my site link everywhere: my site link

Step 4: Brag without shame

I built a tool without writing logic myself.

You can literally just yell at AI too.

Bonus: it makes you feel like a coding wizard without ever opening a tutorial.

TL;DR for fellow dumb devs

  • Have an idea.
  • Scream at AI.
  • Copy whatever it gives you.
  • Profit. Tell people: “Check it out here” → my site.com

PS: Ofcourse i wrote this myself(well atleast i was the one who asked ai to write it so it's mine i guess)
