Two friends. Real projects. Built with AI, written up honestly, mistakes included.
I'mArtificially

We're two friends who build real things with AI. A coffee shop directory. A SaaS dashboard. An arcade game. A paranormal tracker. Then we write down exactly what happened, including the parts that went sideways, so you can build yours faster.
The build logs
We Gave Claude Direct Access to Our WordPress Sites
The real wins, the real risks, and the security part nobody enjoys.
Everyone Says Add llms.txt. Google Says Ignore It.
The honest answer in 2026, and whether it's worth five minutes.
One HTML File, Astro, or WordPress?
How we pick a stack for every build, and the times we ignored our own rules.
A Serious Home for the Unexplained
Paranormal Events Tracker: AI credibility scoring and a forensics toolkit.
From Seven Logins to One Dashboard
LivePeeker, the Google OAuth saga, and a Product Hunt launch.
We Built a Retro Rocket Arcade Game

Things
we broke.
Our build logs end with the part most blogs leave out: the mistakes, named plainly. Here are twelve of them, pinned to the wall. Drag them around. We've earned it.
Our Product Hunt launch landed at #417. One upvote. One comment. The product worked perfectly. Nobody knew it existed.
Log 06ReadA finished product sat behind a Google warning screen for three weeks. We started OAuth verification too late.
Log 04ReadHours lost to Docker and MySQL on a 2017 iMac. None of it had anything to do with the product.
Log 07ReadWe handed the AI a quarter of a million characters of padding attributes, then wondered why it lost the thread.
Log 09ReadShipping got so cheap we shipped things we shouldn't have. Now we maintain five things instead of improving one.

Orbital Ascent is a retro rocket game we built with AI. It's free, it runs in your browser, and you can play it right here.
