The website you are browsing right now

I didn't create this website out of pure and spontaneous will. Initially, I only did it because it was part of the grade in a master's course. This method, in which I must post my "homework" and projects on my own personal website, was inspired by the course "How to Make (Almost) Anything" by an MIT professor. The course's history is quite interesting, since it gave rise to the first FabLab in the world. Nowadays, many engineering universities have one — including mine, here in France, but I only set foot there once. Anyway… Recently, this same professor launched a new course: "How to AI (Almost) Anything" or "how to vibe-code", perhaps. Although I haven't attended a single class, I believe they have something to do with what I did here.

Look, I know nothing about HTML, JavaScript, and much less CSS — the latter I didn’t even know about, but maybe that is a flaw of mine as a computer engineering student. One way or another, here I am, writing content for the website, and there you are, reading this content. All thanks to my first experience with AI agents. Until then, I only used Gemini in the browser and copied and pasted all the code I needed — I know, not very efficient, but that's because Google was the only one that gave away two years of free use for students. However, when my professor suggested using Hugo (the engine that allows me to host this website directly on GitHub), I saw that it would have a very annoying learning curve… Or not. Like a good lazy person, instead of learning new programming languages, I paid 1 euro for a VPN, connected to a Brazilian server and activated the Nubank promotion (for those who don't know, it's a fintech born in Brazil and, God willing, will bankrupt SoGé and any other banks that still force me to send letters or go to physical branches) which gave me six months of free ChatGPT. Now I just give the orders and it does the job.

After about five attempts among the various possible ways and versions to download Hugo, I finally made it; and the rest was pretty chill: I still know nothing about HTML, JavaScript, and much less CSS — for better or for worse — while my website works (almost) perfectly. The only thing I really had to do was to download a theme called Lumenveil and prompt Codex until it turned out the way I wanted. That's why I only put "Markdown" and "Hugo" as stacks related to this project; I never actually needed to learn the rest.
