Felix Rieseberg Homepage
Felix Rieseberg works on Claude at Anthropic and is a co-maintainer of Electron. His career spans engineering leadership at Notion, Stripe, Slack, and Microsoft. He has built popular open-source projects like windows95 and macintosh.js, and authored an O'Reilly book on Electron. His personal site is a playful interactive experience with a retro TV interface.
I have an uncurable addiction to building things I find fun and cute (and not necessarily super valuable).

Not concerned at all ^^; "he built the website in 24 hours" is great marketing for Claude. Now everyone wants to try building their own website the same way and burn tokens.

For a moment I felt like Flash and Director are back but I guess you call this UI-maxxing nowadays.

I've seen a several AI-coded WebGL examples... I wonder if AI will mean the return of the Flash-style interactive websites.
