A new feature for my blog, built using my voice
A local preview, voice conversation, and later code review let Simon Willison build most of a Django newsletter feature while cooking—but the final refinements still required typing.
Why it matters: The account points to a practical division of labor: voice can capture requirements while hands are busy, while a visual preview helps track results and typing remains more efficient for precise code changes, examples, and errors.
