I spent weeks building aithings.dev
— a directory curating all the actually useful AI tools.
Wanted to make discovery simple, clean, human-curated.
Then I got curious and asked Claude 4 Opus to “rebuild aithings.dev from scratch.”
It did. In 45 seconds.
Pages, search, categories, design; all there.
Not gonna lie, that stung.
But it also made me realize something: AI’s moving way faster than our comfort zones, and building with it > fighting it.

Not sure what's so impressive about that. The contents of the website aren't helpful at all and very very far from "curating all the actually useful AI tools" (what does that even mean?). And the design of the website is exactly what you would expect from a one-shot AI, that is, pretty bad.

Still shipping aithings.dev though
