Site built in 120 minutes. Concept debated for 3 days.
The stack
- Concept: ChatGPT (the "what if terminal aesthetic" prompt)
- Refinement: Claude (the brutalist architecture review)
- Build: Kimi (generated the actual Next.js files)
- Troubleshooting: All of the above, in parallel, across browser tabs
Timeline
| Phase | Duration | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Concept | 1 day | ChatGPT |
| Architecture | 4 hours | Claude |
| Actual coding | 15 min | Kimi |
| Debugging | 4 hours | Trial & error |
What actually happened
Friday night: "I should build a personal site."
Saturday morning: 47 messages with ChatGPT about "anti-work brutalist terminal aesthetic."
Saturday afternoon: Claude convinced me the directory listing approach was correct.
Saturday evening: Kimi generated the codebase while I watched.
Sunday morning: Fixed the generateStaticParams error (classic). And a whole bunch of rookie errors.
Sunday afternoon: Live.
The irony
The README took longer to write than the site. Just kidding, the README was also AI-generated (with direction).
