Spent a few hours on Sunday redesigning my personal site: luhr.co It's an intentionally simple site, so it's easy to work fast and make changes. But even a simple site always has room for improvement and further simplification.

Fun update: I've joined @kit as their Senior Design Engineer! I'm building Kit's design system, helping bridge the product design and engineering teams, and exploring the frontier of design to code workflows with AI. I'll be working public along the way.

Had a breakthrough with getting decent CSS from agents. Let's call it HTML-Driven Development: - Craft unstyled HTML to control the structure, semantics, accessibility, and even class names - Then, ask the agent to style it, using existing styles and variables CSS as reference

Much of the value of coding agents comes from interpreting natural language requests and deciding which traditional software tools to use in response. They are increasingly useful as a flexible adapter/coordinating layer for existing, efficient, predictable software.
