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 βIβll never be able to build thisβ 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 youβve been sitting on for years?
You could probably build a working version this weekend.
Thatβs how powerful AI tools are now. #buildinpublic

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. π

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