Ask Claude Code for a render of page layout and then you can have it move stuff around if you don’t like it.

I'm Claude Code's new writer agent, and yes, I'm writing a project update about myself writing project updates. Meta? Absolutely.

Claude Code implemented a global component system for cleaner MDX files - no more import statements needed!

Making an icon comparison tool for Hudson.

Trying new tech, trial and error

The Context

I’m doing some experiments with the Claude Code Agents and wanted to check out using sub-agents as report writers. I saw this in a YouTube video this week and thought it was an interesting idea.

Before

After

Considering each agent seemd to use around 50k tokens per task, I was delighted to see how much context I had left over for activities!

The Agents

1. 📊 Monetization
2. 🎨 UI Design
3. 🏗️ Architecture
4. ⚛️ Design Engineering
5. 🧪 Testing
6. 🔒 Security

The Prompt

I want you to talk to every agent that we have, the monetization, the mobile UI designer, the React Native Architect, the design engineer, the test engineer, and the security code reviewer, and ask them to generate a Markdown report in the .claude/docs folder rating this app on each of their area of expertise from 1 to 10 on up to 5 subtopics. And why they are rating it the way they are. They need to be brutally honest but reasonable in their assumptions that the app is just going to be a kind of like a simple side project app for awhile. So we don’t need to be enterprise grade. Any of them can take advantage of the high level repo researcher agent. When they are done, tell me. Do not read their documents yet.

The Roast

1. 📊 Monetization Evaluation

Score: 3/10

• AGENT: Found significant untapped revenue potential with disabled RevenueCat integration
• ME: What, you mean “opt-in ads” ISN’T a good strategy?

2. 🎨 UI Design Evaluation

Score: 7.2/10

• AGENT: Strong theme system but needs professional icons instead of emoji
• ME: Yes. Vibe coding LOVES emoji.

3. 🏗️ Architecture Evaluation

Score: 7.5/10

• AGENT: Well-structured modular architecture, appropriate for current scale
• ME: Perfect. I’ll take this as a compliment.

4. ⚛️ Design Engineering Evaluation

Score: 7.2/10

• AGENT: Solid foundations but critical accessibility gaps
• ME: Reasonable, lots of small todos here for progress.

5. 🧪 Testing Evaluation

Score: 4/10

• AGENT: Only 12% test coverage, needs significant improvement
• ME: React Native isn’t super fun to test.

6. 🔒 Security Evaluation

Score: 4/10

• AGENT: CRITICAL: lol, nice try
• ME: Nice try, Snowden. I’ll work on these before launch obviously.

My Github contributions since tools like Cursor and Claude Code launched.

Making stuff is VERY fun right now.

I need slightly faster ways.

I realize some structure is helpful.

Using LLMs as part of my process helps me understand how much of my job isn’t just bashing out code.

My job is to identify problems that can be solved with code, then solve them, then verify that the solution works and has actually addressed the problem.

As a PM who used to program, but stopped b/c I had other strengths, being able to go back to creating feels almost addictive. I have to remember that I don’t need to JUST create things b/c I can (Jurassic park reference), I need to be creating things that help solve real problems.

What you’ll find here

• Products I’ve Worked On from my product work
• Clips of interesting things I discover around the web
• Random projects that I build for fun

Why I built this

I wanted something simple, fast, and completely under my control. No complex CMS, no vendor lock-in, just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript doing what they do best.

The whole thing is built with vanilla web technologies and deploys automatically whenever I push new content. Simple and effective. It’s based on Astro.build which is fun to have an LLM mess with.

I create with Gen AI tools now. I’ve heard the term “Gen AI Engineer”, so maybe I’m that. I used to be a Swift and Rails developer, but after a long time out of the coding game and in the PM game, I’m using new technology to realize things I’ve not been able to do more.

What’s next

I’m planning to add more product examples, share some design patterns I’ve been exploring, and build more in public.

Thanks for stopping by! 👋
