New website
I want to write more, so I created this nice site so I would be incentivized to do so. The site is inspired by Brandon Wang and Bear Blog.
My experience with using Windsurf to vibe-code this site was pretty smooth. I started with Sonnet 4.5, and it was good at recreating the example images I gave it, but not so good at thinking from scratch (LLMs aren't very imaginative!). It was also terrible at fixing simple bugs, but switching to Opus 4.1 (Thinking) helped (probably because it read more files and understood the structure more). Seems that models have a bad problem with context retrieval --- they don't really know when they don't know things, since they have all these pre-training memories floating around that make them think they know!
Despite these problems, I was able to build this site in just a few hours. You can find the code here, but I made no real effort to review it so I wouldn't trust it.
