I Let an AI Edit My Site and Watched It Happen in Real Time
Turns out 'just update the copy' is more interesting when an LLM is doing it live and you're watching the DOM mutate in front of you. Mild dissociation included.

Got a weird project? A question about something I built? Just want to say hi? The form below goes directly to my inbox, which I check between hyperfocus sessions.
I'm a web developer who builds things at the intersection of chaos and craft. By day I wrangle pixels and punch APIs into submission. By night I run experiments that probably shouldn't exist. This site is my lab, my notebook, and my cry for help — all rolled into one. If something breaks, that's a feature. If something works perfectly, I'm suspicious.
New tools. New tricks. Same willingness to build things that probably shouldn't exist. If you've got something unhinged in mind, I'm listening.
Semi-regular dispatches. No editorial calendar. Pure vibes.

Adding pages sounds simple. It never is. There were three different data models, one migration path, and a 2am breakthrough involving cold brew and a whiteboard. The whiteboard did not survive.
You can now ship to staging first like a responsible adult, review it, and then YOLO push to prod anyway. Truly the best of both worlds. I am not responsible for what happens next.
Real quotes. Real people. Questionable context.
I asked it to change a headline and it just... did it. Immediately. I wasn't ready.
Multiple pages? On MY wormvomit dot com? It's more likely than you think.
The staging environment saved me from myself at least twice this week. Respect.
Self-reported metrics. Margin of error: yes.
The update dropped. The changelog is vibes. Here's what actually changed.
The site now talks to actual AI. Like, real models. I gave it a knife and told it to be careful. So far so good.
One page wasn't enough for all this. Now there are multiple pages. Each one progressively more unhinged than the last.
Push to staging, push to prod, watch it break in new and exciting ways on real infrastructure. Peer-reviewed by no one.
Every project here started as a weird idea at 2am. Some evolved into real tools people actually use. Others exist purely to prove a point — or disprove one. Tech stack of choice: whatever feels dangerous that week. I've shipped things in Rust, TypeScript, raw WebAssembly, and once, regrettably, PHP. No regrets. Many regrets.
