I built my personal blog in one weekend with Claude — here's what actually happened

I'm not a developer. I work in export business — products, customers, logistics.
But one quiet weekend I had a random thought: maybe I can build something too.
So I spent the entire weekend talking to Claude, reading Hugo docs, learning GitHub, fixing bugs, breaking things, and trying again. The result is FlowAnRiver — a personal blog about AI, crypto, and figuring things out.
What Claude was good at: everything I didn't know how to do. Hugo templates, Cloudflare deployment, CSS, CMS setup. I just described what I wanted and kept asking "why is this happening" until it worked.
What Claude couldn't do: decide what the site should be. The direction, the voice, the reason for building it — that was still fully mine.
The thing that stayed with me: a lot of things that used to require a team are now possible for one person. The barrier isn't gone, but it's lower than it's ever been.
Still early days. But it's mine in a way a social media account never really is.
Happy to answer questions about the Hugo + Cloudflare setup if anyone's curious.
