Hence design and story telling was key for me and I wanted to put it exactly on paper. I have been pushing the team to do more with AI so took this on as a challenge to get this website up, forcing myself to not write a line of html, css, js and instead JUST using cursor composer.
I kept waiting to feel:
- dread as a coder to see my skills taken away (and done better by AI),
- shame on not "rolling sleeves up and just writing code"
- fear that it will not be as good from design or code perspective, etc
In the end, all I felt was a deep rooted excitement I have only occasionally felt in my life. Got this live in time but also walked away filled with a hope for the possibilities this unlocks for creative people. This by no means is a complex project but having coding web pages since the days of Dreamweaver and my high school back in the early 2000s, I know many things which I could have possibly done faster if I was writing it myself but definitely 24 hours would not be possible.
what a time we live in and all I feel as a life long coder is happiness and awe of what it will unlock in terms of ideas for people like me and kids around the world.
