Just things I want to exist, things that benefit myself, or maybe others. And I use AI a lot for it. Because it's no longer about writing the best possible code upfront. It's about having a prototype ready, fast, in some kind of MVP state. Then iterating. Building with AI + your own vision I recently redid my website for my weekend projects: iCeGaming.org I have to say, when you combine your own visual idea with AI, it gets really close to what you actually had in mind.

I don't expect AI to write production-ready systems. Not without iteration, validation, and actually understanding what’s going on. What I’ve been building I’ve always had m
