Thinking
I define the problem, audience, and success signal before writing a single prompt.
How I use AI
I use AI to support ideation and clarity, but I keep the goals, structure, and decisions in my own hands.
My goal is to publish demos that solve one clear use case and explain honestly what they do.
Building
I build a working skeleton fast, test the flow, and iterate the UI copy until it reads clearly.
Audit
I review data, access, and dependencies. I document risks and boundaries in plain language.
Publish
I finish the demo, document it briefly, and publish to a stable URL.
Codex in the build process
I use Codex as a practical partner that helps me keep the work calm, clear, and moving from idea to finished demo without unnecessary complexity.
- Shaping structure: what to do first and what to leave for later.
- Clarifying content: how wording stays understandable for different users.
- Checking quality: what should be reviewed before publishing.
Boundary: Codex does not make decisions for me; it supports structure and quality, while I own the decisions.
What this means in practice
Demo Lab shows how these steps look in finished demos and case notes.
