I’ve never claimed to be a good writer, but I’ve always enjoyed writing, so it actually pissed me off recently when I noticed how my last few blog posts were turning into AI slop. It sounds weird even to me now to say that I “noticed” it – as if it was super difficult to … Read more

I didn’t want a new note-taking tool, I wanted someone else to take notes for me. The whole system runs on markdown … Read more
