Cult Country.

Cult Country started as a need to write — not for an audience, but as a way to process the speed at which design and AI are merging. The name describes a general internet landscape shaped by emerging ideological territories and networked spaces where belief systems coexist, overlap, and circulate.

Part personal field report, part speculative anthropology — the blog traces how algorithms bend human cognition in the age of the internet and artificial intelligence. It's a space for thinking out loud about the things that don't fit neatly into a portfolio piece.

This project was an experiment in AI-native development. Instead of the traditional design-then-build pipeline, the entire blog was built using Claude Code with minimal Figma — mostly rough wireframe sketches to establish the vibe, then straight into code.

The terminal-inspired aesthetic emerged naturally from the workflow: monospace typography, dark backgrounds, system-level UI patterns. Design decisions happened live during development — a conversation between intention and implementation, not a spec sheet and a handoff.

The writing spans essays on UX and AI, journal entries in Spanish, and cultural commentary. Categories include Essays, Journal, UX, and Archive — each exploring different facets of how technology reshapes creative work and thought.

Features like a curated reading list sidebar, guestbook, article tagging, copy-link functionality, and prev/next navigation create a complete editorial experience. The dark brutalist aesthetic with blackletter typography and terminal-inspired UI gives it a distinct identity that matches the raw, unfiltered nature of the writing.
