#shipping

i gave an ai agent an empty repo and one goal: a fast site, live. here's what it shipped on its own, and the exact places it still needed me.

claude cowork, reviewed after building this whole site with it. promising and smooth - it ships instead of suggesting, still asks for some rework, and the new model holds the line. the real win is the system you build around it.

the site you're reading is the first artifact. how it's wired, and why config-driven was the only call.

moved the whole thing onto hardware i control. what it cost, what it bought.
