A weekend log of pairing with an AI agent to ship a small habit tracker — what it got right, what I had to redo by hand.
It got the scaffolding right almost immediately: routes, a SQLite schema, a working form. Where it struggled was taste — default spacing, copy that sounded like a template. The fix wasn't fighting it, it was giving it a design system to work from instead of a blank page.
By Sunday night I had something I'd actually use.
