AI makes it easier to build a bad website.
Not a broken one. A perfectly functional, forgettable one.
The tools are changing fast. But they always have been. What's different now is that speed with a specific tool barely matters anymore.
What matters is how much you actually know. Because AI will only get you as far as the quality of the knowledge and judgment you bring to it. Messy input, messy output, just faster.
The more I invest in it, building skills, writing proper markdown files, crafting accurate descriptive prompts, the better the output gets. It rewards expertise, not shortcuts.
That gap has never been more obvious:
A headline that speaks to the buyer, not the product. A UX flow that earns trust before it asks for anything. UI that makes complex technology feel approachable. Illustrations that tell the story without a word. SEO and AEO that put it in front of the right person.
None of that happens automatically. It gets shaped.

It seems every time I come back to Contra things have changed, how are we getting work on here now there seems to be no projects to look through?
Anyway, how do you guys use Claude to help with PM work?

"Just get in, mess around, and build some random shit."
So I built a GSAP animation sequence I genuinely thought was beyond my JS skills, turned the process into a Claude skill, had Claude design a UI for the skill. Claude ftw
