I've been putting some time in behind the scenes on my site, and it's finally starting to feel a lot smoother. The biggest change was moving my domain to Cloudflare, which gave me faster performance and better security. From there I set up Cloudflare Workers to sync with GitHub, so updates and deployments are way easier to manage.
The other big shift is how I use AI tools in my workflow. I put GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude right into VS Code, and it's made a real difference. Copilot gives me suggestions as I type, and ChatGPT and Claude help me work through problems, explain things, and kick around project ideas.
AI hasn't only helped with the coding either. It's sped up all kinds of tasks. I've used it to write content, resize and convert images, and make other creative assets. Even reworking my resume got easier with AI helping me think through the structure. It all adds up to a faster workflow where I can spend my time building instead of getting stuck on the repetitive stuff.
This is just the start, but between Cloudflare's tools and the AI help, I'm getting a lot more done than I used to.
