Hey everyone so I restarted the blog back in November and have been steadily puping out the articles but...it’s got to the point where I’ve stopped enjoying it.
The blog landscape has changed since I last did it, nobody leaves comments & performative sniping is the norm on the likes of LinkedIn & Reddit. So...it’s sucked the fun out of it.
I’m going to take a break from blogging for a while to recharge and focus on other projects. I’ll come back to it when I feel more inspired and ready to engage with the community again.
I think I’ve done enough here to have been worth doing but these are NOT articles. They’re documents of where my mind was at the time I wrote them.
Though I DO use LLMs in my writing process each blog is still HOURS of work, writing code, research etc..…

Though I DO use LLMs in my writing process each blog is still HOURS of work, writing code, research etc...etc...They’re never just restatements of somethign I read like so many articles and it’s tiring.
It’s also making me a little miserable that I’m doing all this WORK (I am a freelance developer after all) for others’ benefit and not advancing my own career. So that stops. Today.
