I'm sorry but this article is marketing. From the 3rd paragraph from the end:
> Since our landing page is isolated from core product code, the risk was minimal.
The real question to ask is why your landing page so complex, it is a very standard landing page with sign-ups, pretty graphics, and links to the main bits of the website and not anything connected to a demo instance of your product or anything truly interactable.
Also, you claim this avoided you having to hire another engineer but you then reference human feedback catching the LLM garbage being generated in the repo. Sounds like the appropriate credit is shared between yourself, the LLM, and especially the developer who shepherded this behind the scenes.
OP here - I'm sorry this felt like marketing; that was not my intent! I deliberately posted on my personal blog and tried to focus this post on how I used agentic tools (Claude Code, the Figma Dev Mode MCP) and not anything about what my startup actually does.
That said, I was working on implementing a redesign for my startup's website as the project for the experiment - there's no way around that as context.

I disagree on this; I don't think that was an issue. Our landing page would have been very easy for a developer on our team to build, that was never a question.
That said, we're a small startup team with myself, my cofounder / CTO, one engineer, and a design contractor. The two technical folks (my cofounder / CTO and the engineer) are focused on building our core product for the most part. I absolutely agree credit is due to them both for their work!
For this project, they helped me review a couple of my bigger PRs and also helped me navigate our CI/CD, testing, and build processes. I believe I mentioned their help in my blog post explicitly, but if it wasn't clear enough definitely let me know.
My goal in attempting this project was in no way to belittle the effort of actual developers or engineers on our team, whom I highly respect and admire. Instead, it was to share an experiment and my learnings as I tried to tackle our website redesign which otherwise would not have been prioritized.
