I specifically have used Claude, Opus 4.1 model. Love how it creates and shows you the code. I tell Claude to develop a HTML5, Javascript single file game and it just does it. The way it organizes the code, in Artifacts, which when I first started on the Claude AI coding journey didn’t know existed. In Artifacts you can toggle on and off if you want to see the code or run the code.

An example of creating a game. Told Claude:

And it created:

I can create a game with from a small paragraph. The issue is, which is a big one. You start playing the game that was just built and it’s not very good at all. Gives you a starting point to build a much better game, or web app. Which can be grueling task. Meaning I can start the project, build a base, add more features and update the design. Run into issues, go through copying and pasting error’s to help Claude on what the issue is. Then you get a “Your message will exceed the length limit for this chat.”. Then you open a new chat, and start all over again. Need to train the chat on what you want and the system specs.

Recently Claude launched with the Max plan that you can enable Claude to search previous chats but it just searches, it doesn’t remember. It helps reference a chat but you have to train Claude again. And in my experience you can create a perfect prompt explaining everything in detail, upload the necessary files required, but it still doesn’t remember everything even during the same chat. If you are building something, don’t have Claude blindly build a script that changes production, WITHOUT reviewing every detail of what it’s doing. I broke production for a while because I trusted Claude to create a migration script from DEV to PROD, of one of my web apps.

AI is reshaping what it means to be creative. For the first time in history, the tools of creation—whether for art, music, writing, or design—are available to almost anyone with an idea. You don’t need years of training or expensive equipment; you only need curiosity and imagination.

This shift levels the playing field. Everyone can now generate, explore, and experiment. But access alone doesn’t guarantee greatness. Just as owning a camera doesn’t make someone a photographer, or having a keyboard doesn’t make someone a novelist, AI doesn’t automatically make someone creative.

What truly matters are the ideas behind the tools. The people who will stand out are those who can take AI outputs and transform them into something meaningful—through vision, taste, and storytelling.

AI doesn’t replace creativity—it amplifies it. And in a world where everyone can generate, the real difference lies in how you imagine, curate, and shape what’s possible.

I’ve worked in IT since 1993, starting as a PC enthusiast and growing into a hands-on IT professional. Over the years, I’ve shifted from hardware and troubleshooting into creating code. Now with AI, I’m able to turn ideas into web apps faster than ever—and I love building.

The thing I realized after creating burntai.com with AlmaLinux, and troubleshooting weird issue, “well that should have worked?”, is always blame SELinxux.

This is such a good catch! 🕵️ SELinux is notorious for these “everything looks right but doesn’t work” scenarios. The fact that your file permissions are perfect but the API returns empty data despite the file having content is a classic SELinux symptom.

I wish I was a better programmer, this way AI can’t pull shit on me. I have caught it doing stupid stuff. I am still trying to sort out the issues from last night. Had an internal admin page where I can monitor the site, now broken. I should have reverted back to the checkpoint that i created before migrating the web app :(. But I stuck it out, trying to get the admin page to work again.

So I setup an upgraded version of AI Personality Shift, a neat little web app that changes with different words:

Got it working in dev, it was a pain but not a big deal. Setup a new chat because I know Claude would have a message length issue. Setup the prompt, telling the specs of my setup, gave it all the files. Claude can up with a bullet proof migration plan. It created 5 migration scripts to backup, migrate, replace and test. Ran all the scripts, said everything was working. Couldn’t connect to burnati.com. It trashed the site. It stripped SSL out of the nginx configuration for the web server. Three hours later, went through two chats, now its fixed. The site runs on AlmaLinux 10 a Hyper-V VM, I took a checkpoint before all this, I could have reverted but I wanted Claude to fix it.

AI absolutely can get it wrong, presuming things (I gave it the nginx config file, that it stripped out 443?), but without it I couldn’t do what I have done so far with burntai.com.

Right in the middle of implementing a new feature, just when I got it trained, it knew exactly what needed to be down, now I need to retrain the next chat :(.
