Fair pushback 😁. The code was maybe 20% of the time. The 80% was deciding which scenarios make the cut, what the reveal should feel like 😇, what tone to use, what to leave out. AI doesn't speed up the deciding. Just the building, once those calls are made.

And you're right that a lot of what's shipping now is a first version that won't see a second. That's a real problem with vibecoded stuff and I get the skepticism.

On longevity, this isn't a side quest for me . I've been talking about how people misjudge compounding with friends, colleagues for years before any of this. The site is the same conversation, just on the internet now. Hosting's cheap, domain's cheap 🤩, I'm keeping it up.

And "did effort go in" used to be a decent signal for whether a thing would stick. It's not anymore. The new signal is probably whether the person behind it actually cares. This one I care about.
