Why I’m Building Alone in the AI Era | Solo Creator Podcast EP 01 (Happy Pongal 🌾)

We are living in the AI era.

AI can write code.
AI can generate art.
AI can build products faster than ever before.

So why would anyone still choose to build alone?

In this first episode of my solo podcast, recorded on Thursday, January 15, 2026, I talk honestly about why I continue to create games, tools, and ideas alone — even as AI becomes more powerful every day.

This episode is not about rejecting AI.
It’s about staying intentional in a world full of shortcuts.

I talk about:

Why building alone still matters in the AI era

The quiet, uncomfortable side of solo creation

Using AI as a tool, not a creative crutch

Slow progress, failed ideas, and personal clarity

Why meaning matters more than speed

Since this episode releases on Pongal, a festival about harvest and patience, I reflect on how slow creation and long-term effort still have value — even when everything around us feels automated.

This podcast is for:

Solo game developers

Indie creators

Writers, designers, and builders

Anyone feeling overwhelmed by AI hype

Anyone choosing depth over speed

No hustle culture.
No fake motivation.
Just honest reflection.

🎧 Sit back, listen, and build at your own pace.
