# A better way to do...stuff!

## Getting Super Powers

That means information on how to make Apps, websites, databases and anything else you want that isn't for display in a museum exhibit on Cavemen.

```
$ give me super-powers
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating stuff is still a privilege reserved for an elite group of people, known as Developers
{% endhint %}

{% code title="Hello World is pointless...." %}

```bash

They charge a lot, are often quite condescending.
 
Most of all, they make sure to never teach you how to do stuff.

```

{% endcode %}

To make it even more frustrating, they publish loads of information online about how to do it, which is mostly 'for beginners', - often said with a slight sneer. But even when well intentioned, the truth is once you know how to build a Blockchain AI powered banking app in your sleep, the thing you can't do is teach the basics.

{% hint style="info" %}
And I mean THE BASICS! - at least not without making ordinary people feel as small as pixel, because while people are smart, and know what a pixel is, they don't speak the mystical language of developers.
{% endhint %}

**And that's what this guide is for.** I'm writing it as I learn to step outside the box, and I plan to translate those development epiphanies into language and concepts ordinary people can understand.\
\
Mostly to remind myself in future, but also to democratise access to the stuff we all use every day and would like to be able to do ourselves.

Enjoy!
