Rediscovering delegation through AI coding – so I can write
Summary of content
After years of playing around with various creative outlets - drawing, photography, video, development, and writing (which I’m eager to dive back into) - I’ve gained some insights from my nearly two decades in design that I think others might find helpful.
The tricky part was creating a blog that truly captured my design style without using pre-made templates. Development had been a long-forgotten skill for over a decade, so instead of jumping back into traditional coding, I decided to try something fresh: agentic and conversational AI coding tools.
What began as a casual experiment during the quieter hours of Ramadan quickly turned into a practical learning journey. With the help of a close friend and developer, I explored several tools before choosing Cursor. I used it to plan, organize, and gradually build my blog using my own designs. By breaking tasks into smaller steps and embracing AI-assisted delegation, I managed to transform an idea into a functional platform for writing again - even with some bugs along the way.
