How we used Bolt.new and AI to launch sfruby.com in days, building a cool and high-converting site for SF Ruby Conf with Astro, OKLCH, and some Martian flair.
Recently I had the chance to build a simple website, and it brought back the same butterflies I felt in the summer of 2002, right before starting high school. There was a certain lightness to writing HTML by hand in Notepad back then—a lightness I miss in today’s complex world, where even a small script can lead you down the rabbit hole of setting IAM roles in Google Console. This time, though, the experience was entirely different. Don’t get me wrong—the feeling was probably fleeting and superficial (after all, it was just a simple website)—but it gives me hope that the tools we’re building today might someday bring back that sense of lightness. Maybe not tomorrow, but someday!
