I never knew how hard it would be for a writer to imitate a developer.

But what surprised me even more was this: inside that “imitation,” I ended up seeing—again—what kind of person I truly am.

When I trained the model, I repeated the process hundreds of times.

When I tested decoder tuning, I ran it more than a hundred times.

Mapper tuning—about a hundred trials, too.

And when I built the rules for LLM auditing, I tested them at least a hundred times.

I didn’t eat. I didn’t wash. I didn’t sleep.

I was consumed by testing.

GPT wrote the code, but I did the testing.

No matter how brilliant an AI is, it cannot write perfect code in a single attempt.

Because code isn’t a sentence—

it lives and moves on top of environment and reality.

Recently, I learned one more skill:

cloud deployment and SaaS migration.

I fought that battle a hundred times as well.

I repeated the attempt until it worked—again and again—

and in the end, I finished deploying a service that runs even on a smartphone.

For something I built at the beginning, it’s surprisingly stable.

And that stability isn’t talent.

It’s the result of repetition—of refusing to let go until it held.

But at this point, I had to admit one uncomfortable truth.

I am not a successful writer.

When I wrote, I wasn’t this stubborn, this obsessive, this relentless.

So I never became a great writer.

Instead, I built a tool that can help someone become one.

Maybe this is my way.

Not the person who leaves behind one perfect masterpiece,

but the person who builds a device—

a mechanism that keeps someone writing to the end,

that stops them from collapsing,

that makes them rewrite, again and again.

And that device—

only after a hundred failures—

finally began to work.
