CEO and Co-Founder here. A weekend before our launch I decided to force myself to just use Cursor Composer and Claude Sonnet 3.5 to create our landing page for Transcelestial's Space business line. Images by ImageFX by Google. It's been a goal we set forth to do at the start of the company and finally have been able to open up the behind the scenes tech we have been building for it.
Hence design and story telling was key for me and I wanted to put it exactly on paper. I have been pushing the team to do more with AI so took this on as a challenge to get this website up, forcing myself to not write a line of html, css, js and instead JUST using cursor composer.
I kept waiting to feel:
- dread as a coder to see my skills taken away (and done better by AI),
- shame on not "rolling sleeves up and just writing code"
- fear that it will not be as good from design or code perspective, etc
In the end, all I felt was a deep rooted excitement I have only occasionally felt in my life. Got this live in time but also walked away filled with a hope for the possibilities this unlocks for creative people. This by no means is a complex project but having coding web pages since the days of Dreamweaver and my high school back in the early 2000s, I know many things which I could have possibly done faster if I was writing it myself but definitely 24 hours would not be possible.
what a time we live in and all I feel as a life long coder is happiness and awe of what it will unlock in terms of ideas for people like me and kids around the world.
