How I Built This Site — No Frameworks, No Excuses
Every line of code in this site was written by opencode — vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, no template, no framework. My part was the suggestions and the review. I wanted to understand what I'm shipping; if I don't know how it works, I can't fix it when it breaks.
opencode, the AI assistant that sits in my terminal, wrote the code and explained what it was doing — and why. I won't claim I read every line, but reading its code as it works is the part I've come to enjoy most, and the understanding is still mine to build.
Learning this way has worked for me — as long as I don't let the tool replace understanding. I read the docs, break things on purpose, and keep what I can explain.
