AI & How I Use It

This site was built together with opencode, an AI assistant that lives in my terminal. This page explains how AI fits into who I am as a learner — and how I keep the understanding mine.

🧠 My Toolbox

opencode — an AI coding assistant in the terminal. It suggests code, explains concepts, and reviews my work out loud.

It's the main tool behind this site. Every page here passed through my own eyes before going live.

🤝 How I Use AI

As a patient tutor: I ask questions, it explains, I apply.

As a rubber duck: I explain my problem — to it or out loud — until the fix becomes obvious.

As a pair programmer: it drafts, I review, edit, and own the result.

🚫 Where I Draw the Line

I never ship code I can't explain. AI suggests; I decide.

I read every line before keeping it. AI accelerates learning — it can't replace it.
