Getting Into Agentic Coding: How I Went from Zero to Building and Launching
A personal journey from design leadership to building and launching projects using agentic coding tools like Cursor, exploring the shift from idea to execution.
Went from “I’ll never be able to build this” to launching two projects solo last year.
No dev team or safety net. Just me, AI tools and a lot of trial and error.
Wrote up the full journey, from stuck to shipped.

The project you’ve been sitting on for years?
You could probably build a working version this weekend.
That’s how powerful AI tools are now. #buildinpublic

Yesterday it still interpreted it as Welsh, but we had a full conversation in English. Go figure.

Those days when we used to add a js snippet to our sites to have snowflakes falling.

Since the earliest days of voice recognition within Siri, there has always been great problems with accents like Geordie. ChatGPT often thinks I'm Welsh, and a new AI tool just thought I was speaking Swedish.
I often think back to @james.blue conversation with Siri. 😂

If you’re hiring for an art director at the moment, let me know. I have a super creative, hard working friend recently impacted by layoffs who I’d love to recommend. Drop JD links and I’ll share them with him!

It’s a bit strange starting out on a new platform, but alas we’re here now.
