PHP Online publishes "The lazy student who started a 100 Days Challenge"
On February 27, 2025 PHP Online, run by PHP Institute, published "The lazy student who started a 100 Days Challenge: building a new app every day with ChatGPT," an article on the challenge by author and app developer Ami Otsuka (representative of Hundreds LLC).
The article quotes the publisher's blurb directly: a lazy fourth-year student meets ChatGPT, takes up programming on a whim, is praised by a professor, has a paper accepted abroad, and lands a job as a software engineer.
That sentence is used repeatedly across media as the introduction to Otsuka's career.
