I Let AI Build My Blog From Telegram Posts
I crap-coded, sorry, vibe-coded – that is what they call it now.
As an experiment to see whether a top Codex-like model can build something complete and working on top of an existing codebase, I decided to give it a task that was not too critical but still interesting: to build my blog.
I want to write, but I do not want to commit to writing regularly, so I needed a workaround. That is how the whole system appeared:
1. On a schedule, all posts from my Telegram channel (this one) are imported automatically.
2. They are passed through GPT-5.1: translate, generate a title, and create tags.
3. The translation is stored in the database.
4. Images (if any) are uploaded to S3.
You can see the result here: https://tobishua.com/blog
My contribution there: a few edits (simply because I cannot stand bad code architecture) and lots and lots of prompts.
