Coding

This is my growing collection of projects made with Claude Code. I’ve never been good at coding, but I understand the concepts, so using Claude Code is like having a team of 50 software engineers at my disposal for $20 a month. While generative AI is highly problematic in many ways, being able to build useful tools for myself is absolutely incredible. Most of what I’ve built is just for my business, but occasionally I make something that’s fun or useful for others, and those I share on this page.

Firework Simulator

This is a simulator that depicts fireworks silently exploding over a still lake, with trees on the horizon. It was intended to be a better version of a TV screensaver I saw in the gym one day.

People report an immediate calming of the nervous system when they watch it.
