Michael Jelly is a software developer who began his journey after working in corporate consultancy. He started learning to code during the pandemic with JavaScript and Free Code Camp. Frustrated by setting up environments, he found Replit, which enabled him to set up a Python environment and web hosting quickly and easily. To build MagicFlow, a productivity app, Michael relied on Replit's templates, AI-powered code generation, and server maintenance. With Replit, Michael was able to launch his app rapidly, iterate, and share it with others, eventually turning MagicFlow into a sustainable business with a monthly profit. Replit simplified Michael's development workflow, allowing him to focus on coding without worrying about DevOps or system maintenance.
