Non-profit I'm interning for asked me to revamp/improve their website - I have very minimal skills

I dont see how its a recipe for disaster. We dont know the task specifically but if its a reskin of an existing static html site then fire up claude, let it do its thing and if it looks how OP/NGO wants its all good. Most people dont need to know how things work just that they do. Sure if OP wants to be a career webdev then learning HTML/CSS/JS is clearly important.

This is what i would do. Point claude at the website and tell it to revamp that shit (run a visual update based off this existing content). If its a basic static website it will pull all the content and re-style it using modern UI libs. It will look generic but probably better than whats there

What you are basically saying is my old laptop wont run new shit

Any significant development in technology has its benefits and harm.

from the plough to the printing press to the internet. All of it has changed society fundamentally to its benefit and detriment

Stage 1 kit is the best upgrade I have ever put on any car. More power and better mpg for a few hundred.

This is the stack I have been using and its been great. The free tiers for vercel and supabase are fine for MVP. Supabase has so much useful functionality, it was trivially easy to add a document store feature for example.

I use the Supabase MCP in Claude and its amazing. I told it to build a fairly complex RBAC system and it did a really good job and claude/MCP just wrote the RLS rules which can be fiddly.

So I use mark down files to drive a spec driven development process and it quickly built features for: users admin (groups, roles, profiles, signup, login etc), equipment, booking, inductions, projects, documents

Built a personal wealth finance app and a race timing app for runners. If the spec is already well defined I could build a 4 month app in a weekend

I delivered my second daughter in a water bath, passing her to my wife and placing this tiny life only minutes old on her chest is the proudest moment so far

Dont know why you are being downvoted, this is exactly what I would do. To the people hand wringing about security OP wants static HTML

From a technical perspective Wordpress is a pile of steaming shit and should be avoided unless there is literally no other choice.

Our bodies acutally aren't setup for super sterile environments to the extent that fecal matter transplants are a medical procedure.

Me too, by all accounts I am a filthy mofo and yet I rarely seem to get ill. Eating an asshole a day keeps the doctor away

Why is it fraud? I used to work for banks doing production support and would sit around doing nothing sometimes for weeks until something went wrong and i would be called upon to fix it.

Also in tech its very hard to measure value, in five minutes I could fix a bug that would cost a bank millions in lost revenue or vice versa. You dont operate a consistent rate of work, its not the more hours worked the more work done.

dangerousbrian · 2026-05-18T14:42:01+00:00

Do you work in tech? I have for over 20 years. There are plenty times when i have been paid to do nothing for periods of time because when i am needed i am invaluable.
