A non-engineer founder rebuilt their startup’s website using AI coding agents, primarily Claude Code, with workflows involving Figma, VS Code, and GitHub.

The experience enabled high-fidelity design implementation and standard development practices like branches, pull requests, and code reviews, though it required close human oversight due to inconsistent AI performance, file management quirks, and intermittent task completion issues. Frequent manual intervention and collaboration with developer teammates were necessary to maintain code quality and correctness while leveraging AI to accelerate execution.
