A designer chronicles their year-long journey experimenting with AI coding tools to build a personal blog. Starting with disappointing results from Lovable, Bolt, and Replit in March 2025, they found success with Claude Code by July. The experience evolved from skepticism to practical appreciation as they built various tools including desktop apps, menu bar utilities, and a custom web interface for blog management.
