Real things,
built with AI

I am not a developer. I build anyway — and I write down honestly what it takes: what got made, how long it really took, and every part of it that broke on the way.

No shortcuts sold, no course to buy. Just the working notes of someone using these tools to build things they actually care about.

How I built 888 Story with AI

Eighteen days from an empty folder to a live site on its third major version — with 382 automated checks, three ways to undo everything, and a deadline I set for myself. Including the day I switched off the wrong thing and the site took forty-five seconds to load.

Interested in starting your own journey to build with AI?

The practical version: how to begin, what to build first, what it actually feels like day to day, and the mistakes worth making early rather than late.

Tell me what you want to make. I will tell you honestly what it takes — and whether I think you should.
