Get a blog!

You should get a blog. Yeah, you.

Having a blog is a really nice thing. Speaking for myself at least, having had multiple blogs over the years has meant that I've been able to express myself and get things off my chest, I've reasoned through problems and ideas more deeply by writing them down, and I've been able to reach a reasonable amount of people in the process.

Those things have always been true, and most people with blogs will tell you they've reaped similar benefits from their blogs, plus some others. But there's a reason that having a blog is even more relevant now, and that's due to LLMs.

Now, I'm not anti-AI and I actually use AI daily (but never for writing). LLMs are fascinating and really powerful. But the rise of LLMs has meant that we now have a ton of writing slop all over the web.

That means it's more important than ever that we have real people writing real things, with all the nuance, flaws, and emotion that comes with the human writing experience.

Conversely, LLMs have made it so that devs and non-devs alike can use coding agents to build a website that's just your style to host your blog.

So this is what this website is about. It's here to encourage you to get a blog. So we can hear your perspective. Everyone has something interesting to say.

And if you don't know where to start, this website can also help you.

Head over to Resources for a list of useful platforms and tools to help you in your writing journey.

As part of trying to write more myself, I've also been building tools that help me and open-sourcing them, and this website will become the home for these tools.

P.S. It's also worth noting that having a blog costs 0 dollars. Not only can you use hosted no-code platforms to get a blog up in 5 minutes, but there are many ways to host a blog you coded yourself for free.
