Rome Wasn't Built in a Day. Neither Is The Money Wiki.
A short reflection on growth, patience, and what AI coding tools have made possible for independent builders. The Money Wiki is being built one day at a time — just like Rome.
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I love that saying. I picture Roman soldiers and thousands of slaves laying bricks one by one, building roads, digging pits for water for the horses, and slowly putting the town together. That’s how it all came to be, right? Same thing with the Wiki. I remember how excited I was when I hit my first 100 page views in a day. Sure, 72 of those were just bots crawling the site, but who cares? The other 28 were real people, and that made me happy. That’s how things grow—step by step.
I think Naval Ravikant once said something like, only 1 in 400 people know how to code, but all 400 know a problem they want solved. I totally agree, and now with AI, it feels like almost everyone can code. Maybe not all 400, but let’s say 350 out of 400 can now code because AI has made it so much easier. What used to be super hard—needing tons of resources, programmers, database experts, security specialists—now tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor make it all so much simpler. It’s like software development at the speed of thought.
We’re building our site one day at a time, and now we can do things we couldn’t even imagine before. Just couldn’t even fathom. One step at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is Money Wiki, but we’ll get there.
