Building My Blog With Claude Code
This blog was build mainly by Claude Code If you’re reading this in the future: Claude Code is an AI tool that runs in your terminal, has access to your project and can edit the whole database – from planning to execution. At first I was a tad skeptical but decided to try it out, and boy was I surprised.
I don’ think that Claude Code will get you the results you want if you don’t have any coding knowledge (not yet). Even knowing the most basic things like HTML/CSS can help you a lot.
For example, Claude had trouble centering a 2-column layout. Despite me telling that the columns do not get positioned properly, Claude failed at every single attempt. When I suggested “maybe try nesting each column inside a div”, it got the result instantly. I don’t know how many attempts would be needed for it to figure it out on its own.
Examples:
- Responsivness
- I used Opus for planning and Sonnet for writing the code. This helped me achieve a nice blend of …
I think now you can use
/opusplanto use Opus for Planning and Sonnet for coding. - Easier if you know where the bug is. Sometimes the bugs are very obvious. Especially if you work with CSS.
- I don’t think it’s great with graphic design
- People who spend more time thinking will get better results. I’m usually too impatient to write a full step-by-step plan.
- There were times where Claude would generate bullshit and I had to revert it.
- Made it much easier to finish a project
- 80% of work was don in 20% of time. Most of my time was spent doing finishing touches
Final Thoughts
I was impressed by Claude but it had its caveats. Technical knowledge is needed anyway.
