How I built this site

I built this site myself with Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, over about a week in November 2026. I wrote the content and made the design decisions, and I used Claude Code to write and test the code. I reviewed every change before it went live. The site is built with Astro and hosted on GitHub Pages, and the full source is public on GitHub at https://github.com/WilliamPerryEvans/willperryevans.com.

I wanted to build it this way partly because I think people who lead technology in public service should have their hands on the tools. Using an AI assistant well takes the same habits as supervising any new team member. You need to be clear about the goal, check the work, and stay responsible for what ships.
