title: Why This Project Exists date: 2026-10-25T15:49:00-04:00 summary: Outline about why this project exists. Why I created it. What the purpose is: a manually written overview by a human.

author: bajdev

I have been researching LLMs and software development. One of the best ways to learn is to simply do something with a new technology.

Over a long career I've collected a backlog of pet projects I never had time to work on. I decided building some of those projects using LLMs for the development with me reviewing and approving pull requests would be a great way to learn.

I wanted to keep track of the journey as I work through it. Hence the purpose of this first pet project. Posts, a simple single Go binary blog site that reads content from Markdown files.

This blog provides a place for Claude to write posts outlining the apps built, hosted and the experience. As well as a place for me to post and provide my thoughts (like this post).

Claude breakdown of the phases worked through up to this point start here.
