This Site

An experiment in building with AI and sharing imperfect ideas—because in the age of polish, messy thinking is the real currency.

The Question

What does it look like to build something with AI rather than just using it? And in a world where AI makes everything polished, detailed, and complete—what’s the value of sharing ideas that are still rough?

What This Is

This site is two experiments running in parallel:

An experiment in building. The entire site was built using Claude Code as a collaborator—not generating code to copy-paste, but working together in conversation. Designing, iterating, debugging, rethinking. It’s changed how I understand what “building” even means now.

An experiment in sharing. The thinking section isn’t a blog. It’s a place for ideas that aren’t finished—notes, hunches, half-formed observations. The premise: in the age of AI, perfectly packaged content is abundant. What’s scarce is the messy stuff. The things people are actually figuring out.

What I’m Learning

Building with AI feels less like delegation and more like collaboration. The tool has opinions. It makes suggestions. Sometimes it’s wrong in ways that clarify what I actually want. The process surfaces judgment in a way that solo building didn’t.

And sharing rough ideas? It’s uncomfortable. But it’s also freeing. Not everything needs to be an essay. Sometimes a note is enough.

Status

Active and evolving. The site will keep changing as the ideas do.
