How I Built My Site With Claude Code

No Tailwind. Just PHP, vanilla JavaScript, a custom CSS design system, and Claude Code as my development partner. Here's the full story: what I built, how I built it, what worked, what didn't, and what I'd change. Why Build From Scratch?

The one slide that mattered in a sixty-slide deck. Who promised what in a meeting nobody wrote down.
