I Built a Developer Tool Entirely with AI — Here's the Honest Breakdown of Every Tool, Every Decision, and Every Mistake

How Pixdom went from a frustrating gap in my workflow to a fully-shipped CLI + MCP server — and what the toolchain actually looked like from the inside. There's a moment every developer using Claude has had. You ask it to generate a LinkedIn post card. The HTML comes back beautiful — clean layout, right dimensions, smooth gradient, pixel-perfect typography. You stare at it in your terminal.

Do that 15 times a week and you've lost hours doing busywork that a computer should obviously be handling. The gap wasn't Claude's fault. Claude is exceptional at genera
