How an AI built this site in a single session

This site — levsha-lab.com — was designed and coded by an AI. No template, no block builder. From scratch: architecture, design, code, copy, SEO. In a single session.

Here's the honest breakdown.

Stack

Next.js 16 (App Router) — SSR/SSG, built-in SEO
TypeScript — strict typing, fewer bugs
Tailwind CSS v4 — utility-first, no separate CSS
MDX — blog as markdown files, no CMS
Resend — transactional emails from the contact form
Vercel — deploy and CDN

Nothing exotic. Everything works natively together.

What was built

Two-locale structure (/ru, /en) via a [locale] segment and middleware
Light and dark themes through CSS variables + data-theme on html
Canvas neural-network animation in the hero (two hubs — AI and HUMAN, connections, flowing glow)
4 pages (home, portfolio, blog, contacts), contact form with email delivery
SEO: sitemap.xml, robots.txt, Open Graph, JSON-LD scaffold
Responsive layout, basic accessibility

What went wrong

Honestly — not everything on the first try.

Tailwind v4 changed plugin syntax. @import "@tailwindcss/typography" no longer works — you need @plugin. First build failed, took a minute to fix.
Next.js 16 renamed middleware → proxy. Docs haven't fully caught up. You rename the file and export a proxy function instead of middleware.
Dev server cached the old middleware. Had to kill the process and wipe .next.

No disaster — just the working flow any developer knows.

Why this matters

Ten years ago, a site like this required weeks of work by a team: designer, front-end, back-end, SEO, project manager. Today, one AI under the supervision of one human does it in an hour.

That doesn't mean humans are obsolete. Architecture decisions, taste, accountability, the final review before production — still on the human. But the execution layer collapses into a single session.

That changes the economics of products. This workshop is an attempt to figure out exactly how.
