AI vs Human Web Development: We Built the Same Site
AI vs human web development: I hand-built a one-page site, measured a real client tweak, and set it against what AI builders are documented to do.
Sam builds something new with AI every week and writes down exactly how it went — including what broke. From landing pages to full web apps, always in one day.
Sam is a pen name. The experiments, measurements and opinions behind every article are real, and every article is reviewed by a human before it goes live. Read how this site is made.
