Why peach-flow is a Static HTML Site

Why peach-flow is a Static HTML Site

peach-flow.ch and peach-flow.com exist.

That statement matters more than how it was built.

YAGNI Is an Execution Strategy

I deliberately chose a simple static HTML site.

Not because it’s elegant.
Not because it’s scalable.
But because nothing more is justified yet.

YAGNI is often treated like a slogan.
Here it’s an execution constraint.

No backend.
No CMS.
No framework debates.

Anything beyond a static page would have been speculation disguised as architecture.

Sacrificial by Design

Early architecture should be sacrificial.

If this code survives long-term, that’s a failure of imagination.
It exists to be thrown away.

This is evolutionary architecture in its most honest form:

  • optimize for learning, not longevity
  • prefer reversibility over correctness
  • accept that today’s solution is tomorrow’s liability

Why AI Generated the Site

I let AI generate the site on purpose.

Not to move faster.
Not to cut corners.

But to learn by doing.

If PEACH-Flow explores motivation, agency, and action, then avoiding AI out of principle would be hypocrisy.

This was an experiment:

  • using AI as a collaborator, not a crutch
  • observing where it accelerates thinking
  • noticing where it creates false confidence

You don’t understand a tool by theorizing about it.
You understand it by using it under real constraints.

Action Beats Architectural Comfort

I could have:

  • designed a clean system
  • argued for future extensibility
  • waited until it felt “right”

Instead, I published a site.

The site is not the achievement.
The decision to stop thinking and start acting is.

This pattern will repeat.

PEACH-Flow will move forward through small, disposable steps.
Anything else would be self-deception.
