Oi :oo Enda en grunn til at folk som "vibbekoder" bare burde lære seg å kode selv 😬

And while spending the past months doing my research, I've come to the conclusion that AI can be used in ways that are amazing and actually helpful for a lot of people. As long as we stop integrating a LLM into every fucking app ever made.

Because I realise that there's ways to use these models that doesn’t require a lot of resources, in a lot of cases you can actually run the model on the user’s device, no server needed.

I've not liked all the hype around AI and it has taken me years to come to this point where I’m actually considering it using it myself.

I miss those times. I enjoy using my brain. People should do it more often.

People are lazy these days and are using AI for all kinds of things, one day people might stop using their own brains and rely on AI entirely, just like our generation are relying on doing google searches instead of thinking a little harder or asking a friend.

it doesn't seem like it has changed much until I look back to the first versions and see the difference :D

it terrifies me

yesterday i made another round of small changes on the design, tweaking the typography and spacing a bit!

i realised i was spending more time designing my portfolio than actually making stuff to put into it, so i decided to make the content first, and build the design around it.

by using next.js, i reduced the carbon emissions from 0,87 gram to 0,12 gram for each site load, which was pretty great.

then i made a dark version and removed all my projects for some reason. the website stayed dead for quite a while.
April 13, 2025 at 4:52 PM
then i started studying design and suddenly had many more projects to show.

this was my website in 2022:

i've had a personal website for eight years now, the base structure was designed in 2019, but i have done many iterations on the design and content since then

this is how it looked like in 2020:

a website should be like any other digital product. it's never finished, but continuously improved.

Coding is problem solving not copying an pasting. Copy and past from an AI tool all you want, you're still gonna have no fucking clue what to do when you hit points you need to actually solve a problem

Tok en titt på Kirby selv nå, elsker hvor enkelt det er å lage innhold kun med tekstfiler 😍 Sanity kan lett bli litt "overkill" for personlige nettsider, så dette må jeg utforske mer!

takk! jeg liker sanity godt, kanskje litt biased siden de er et norsk selskap og jeg er norsk, men dokumentasjonen deres er lett å sette seg inn i, i tillegg til at du kun bygger akkurat det du trenger, og det er jo bra :D

kjenner du til sanity selv? eller lignende cms'er?
