Background

I recently published my first open-source project called BatchCodePro. I don’t have a formal IT or CS background, and this project was built using an AI-assisted workflow.

Instead of relying fully on AI output, my focus was on understanding, refactoring, and cleaning up the generated code.

What the project does

BatchCode is a lightweight batch code processing tool designed to automate repetitive code-related tasks.

The main goal is to keep the structure simple, readable, and easy to extend.

What I learned

  • AI can generate code fast, but refactoring is still a human responsibility
  • Clean structure matters more than feature count
  • Publishing early helps get real feedback

Open source

The project is available on GitHub: live pages 👉 [https://dausamir92.…
