Restarting a blog

tl;dr: I’m restarting a blog. Why? To document my experiments with LLMs and generative AI. During times of change, it’s useful to have a sandbox, and a place to reflect.

Why now: LLMs and coding agents make it easy to start and restart a blog. What used to be technical hurdles (understanding template language, setting up a local instance, deploying) can be abstracted away by coding agents.

I want to start a blog, use this framework, 
create these templates, deploy it. 

Easy peasy.

Why a blog: I’ve been experimenting with LLMs for the past year. In 2024, I started a newsletter to track the AI news I was coming across. I wrote an issue every day for 365 days and learned a lot about how the industry was changing. Once I hit that milestone, the next thing was building and tinkering. What’s the point of writing about all this if I wasn’t doing more with it?

So 2024 was writing, 2025 was tinkering, 2026 is a mess, but it’ll likely be about sharing and shipping.

With the different experiments, a newsletter format didn’t seem to fit. A blog and river of intersting bits seemed more appropriate.

Why not use the social platforms? Mainly to have a sandbox and playground for experimentation. Social platforms are limited by their format. Hosting and posting means anything goes! Social platforms also have social pressure, so there’s that.

Ultimately. I think this will be more fun. To have a corner of the internet curated by me. Here’s to sharing and inspiration and conversations and interesting-ness.
