Built by a guy who half knows what he's doing, and also really loves spinning cubes.

Start here

A few things I wired into this site.

The honest bit

I'm Niels.

Side project and portfolio flex, honestly both at once. I wanted to see how far AI could take me, so I built the whole stack with it - a Rust backend, this frontend, all running on a laptop in my closet.

So now I'm here. What now?

Open questions,
mostly unanswered

01

Is coding dead?

The model writes the syntax now, faster than me, and half the logic too. So what's the job, if a machine does that part?

02

Real developer, or just a larper?

Some of both, honestly. The autocomplete is very good and I am very willing. Ask me again when it breaks at 3am and I have to actually understand it.

03

Okay, but is this cope?

Probably. But I learned more building this half-cursed thing than I would have reading about it. Larping your way into competence still gets you in the door.

04

AI, or actually knowing the craft?

Lean all the way on the tool and maybe I never learn the thing underneath. Refuse it and I'm just slower to prove a point. No clean answer. I use it anyway.

05

When does talking replace coding?

Partly already. But "say exactly what you mean" was always the hard part. Describing the bug precisely is most of fixing it, in any language.

06

And the real sci-fi version?

If AGI really lands, coding's obsolete, architecture's obsolete, and I go run a pig farm. Years out, or never, depends who you ask. Until then I build, with the pig farm on standby.

ai. i dont like yellow please fix.

Still larping. Still shipping.
