Figma to code with AI: I wrote 237 prompts so the neural network would stop guessing the design
How my Figma kit became instructions for Claude, Cursor and Lovable, and what an honest "mockup versus code" test revealed. A neural network writes code in a minute, but without a mockup it guesses the design. Using the Hero 06 section, I show how a precise prompt carries a Figma mockup into responsive code, where it goes wrong, and how to assemble a landing page with AI that doesn't look generic.
A neural network writes code brilliantly but reads design from an image poorly, which is why AI-made landing pages all look alike. I explain how I wrote 237 prompts for my own sections in Figma, and show the test: mockup versus code, what matched and what had to be fixed.

How I built a site with AI. And why one button got its own mini-project
My first site built with AI: from a Figma mockup to my own admin panel. With edits, neural network limits, and a dedicated lab for one button.
Design took about four hours, development about a week. Here's how I built my first site with AI, discovered my own admin panel, and got a little carried away with one glass button.
