Ai is a tool I use a lot for code generation, research, image generation, and debugging. The words I publish on this site are my own unless explicitly stated from the top. There's only one or two posts in this category.
Words are mine #
The core of what this blog is, is my thoughts ideas, sharing experiences. The words are the important part. They are not perfect, I often do not spell or grammer check, and what is here is from a flow state of writing and very often not refactored.
No AI unless explicitly stated
code gen #
Up till around 2023 all of the code to create the site was hand written by me. I have my own site generator that I maintain markata.
From 2023 through 2025 snippets of code, sometimes entire plugins or modules were created in chat apps like chatgpt. There was no agentic coding, windsurf, cursor, claude code, opencode, none of it. It was all integrated into the site by hand.
Starting around Dec 2025 I was finding freely available agents through tools like opencode to be more and more useful, making less mistakes, doing better at getting context and making changes. The flow is relying on heavy planning and issue reporting.
image gen #
I really got into stable diffusion as it came out. I thought it was fascinating to generate different kinds of images of things that I would otherwise have no ability to create, for a long time I was generating images for every post. I've moved on from doing it for every post, but still do it occasionally.
I'm not an artist, sometimes I like to include art that I would not otherwise be able to. Most of the art you see on a post is AI generated, and may not be called out.

I feel this term strongly. I find ai tooling useful, but the industry and hype bros bring a bad taste.
The tools do not not do everything right, you still have to think, watch its output. You have to put the work in to do proper software engineering. Its not a magic pill, but it has the ability to implement ideas, plans, very quickly.
Also the whole industry creeps me out. The theft that happened to get here was wrong. AI shovoled into everything as slop sucks. The stock market pump is sus.
