Lately I've been thinking about the things we build with AI. And I keep landing on the same question. Did I really build this? Or did I just foresee it being built?
Chapter 1 — Confusion
The steps are always the same. I get an idea, or I see something online and think "I bet I could make that, or at least put my own spin on it." New project, Neovim, agent pane on the side.
And then I sit there.
I stare at the empty screen and the blinking cursor for a while, and eventually I give in and explain the idea to Claude Code, and watch it try to build something out of a prompt I hadn't really thought through yet.
