Today dariusgriffin.com went from a Wix template to the thing you are reading, in one working day, in forty-eight commits.
Here is the part that matters: I did not write the code. I directed. An agent engine prototyped the design, generated the portrait treatment, cut the background from my headshot, animated it, cloned my voice for the intro you can play on the homepage, caught its own rendering bugs, ran its own QA in a headless browser, committed every change to git, and deployed to production. My job was taste and judgment: this works, that reads try-hard, make the edges cleaner, kill the bird.
That last one is real. At one point there was a Nazca hummingbird etched behind the contact section. It was ugly. I said so, and it was gone in a minute, replaced with a particle field. That loop, from opinion to shipped fix in minutes, is the entire story.
A year ago this rebuild is a quote from an agency: weeks of back and forth, five figures, and a result I would have settled for. The barrier between wanting something built and having it built used to be a class of people with a specific technical skill. Not the most creative people. Not the ones closest to the problem. Just the ones holding the toolchain.
That barrier is gone. What is left is knowing what good looks like and being accountable for what ships. The engine handled scale today. I handled judgment. Same principle I sell in my compliance practice, running on my own house.
The site says a lot of things about me. The way it was built says more.
