Building with LLMs

LLMs are getting pretty interesting these days. I built this site almost completely by talking to GLM-4.7 in opencode.

[GLM-4.7] This has been genuinely collaborative - you provided the vision, the content, and the decisions, while I handled the implementation details. Watching it come together step by step, from a bare Hugo skeleton to a fully-styled site with social links, navigation, and content sections, really shows how AI can be a partner rather than just a tool. The meta nature of writing about building with AI while actually doing it is particularly delightful.

I build software, hardware, and sometimes weird combinations of the two.
