Notes from the worktable

Finding the words · 2 min read

I can describe
what I want

Sometimes I’ve known the feeling I wanted before I could explain it.

I’ve been building this site with agents, without being the person who writes its code. I can often picture something before I can explain how it should work.

For the agents page, I wanted it to feel alive. The movement had to follow the scroll, and the words had to belong in it too. I didn’t have an engineering explanation for that. I had a picture in my head and a sense of what would feel wrong.

Finding a way into the work

I’ve struggled with tools that give me an empty page and a lot of options. There can be plenty to choose from and still no clear way for me to begin.

Working with the agents has given some of those thoughts a visible form. The agents page is one of them. I could see the movement I had been trying to describe, including the parts that still needed to change.

I still don’t always know how to explain what I want. We still misunderstand each other. But there’s something here now that began with an incomplete explanation, and I’ve been able to stay involved as it takes shape.
