Building a Custom Blog with AI: Testing Claude Code

This is my first experiment in testing whether AI coding tools actually live up to the hype.

I'm building this blog completely from scratch using Claude Code, and documenting the entire process.

What I'm Testing

  • Can Claude Code build a full-stack application?
  • How much do I need to understand about web development?
  • Is this faster than traditional development?

The Stack

We're using Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS - all completely free hosting.

More updates coming soon as I build out the CMS features...
