About How I Build

Welcome to How I Build! 🚀 Real-time build logs from the trenches of solo product development How I Build is where technical founders, product operators, and builders get unfiltered insights from someone actually building in public. No polished startup blogs or post-hoc wisdom. Just raw, real-time documentation of what it's really like to build products as a solo founder. What You'll Find: - Actual code snippets and implementation details - Database architecture decisions and their consequences - Tool evaluations based on real usage (when AI helps vs. misleads) - Time-stamped problem-solving as it happens - Guest contributions from fellow builders Our Approach: Every post lives as Markdown in Git. Write → Commit → Deploy → Live. No CMS, no editorial calendar, no marketing funnel. Just authentic technical content for technically minded people. For Solo Founders & Builders Who: - Wrestle with technical decisions daily - Want to see real implementation details - Appreciate radical transparency over motivational fluff - Build with modern tools (Cursor, Astro, Tailwind, Supabase, Netlify, Claude Code, AMP Code etc.) This site itself is a case study. Built with AstroWind, deployed on Netlify, tracked with PostHog. Dark mode by default because that's how we roll. Even the domain choice `.ai` isn't because this is an AI product. It's because artificial intelligence tools are now part of every builder's workflow, and we need to be honest about when they help and when they mislead. Ready to build in public? Welcome to the trenches.
