I was surprised to find out that my blog traffic has been growing organically, with no marketing from me at all. Last month it had 606 visitors and roughly 1.13k views, which is a real WOAH moment for a personal site. Thanks to everyone who has been coming to my blog; I wish you all the best.
I’m really happy that I built the timeline feature into my blog, because it gives me an easy way to write about little moments and keep them somewhere permanent, platform agnostic, and accessible without any kind of paywall or login wall. The ProjectSpire SwiftUI card view WIP entry is exactly the kind of thing I wanted this for: a small progress record I can send to friends and family without needing it to be a full post or trapped inside a social feed.
This past week I shipped across code and writing at a pace that would have felt unrealistic before AI. The surprising part was that it did not feel frantic; it felt like less friction between thought and artifact. It truly feels like working at warp speed, 😜.

Published What's Worth Keeping: On Humanness in the Age of AI — a post on what I've been thinking about since attending a thought experiment session on AI and skill erosion.

Published A Small Digital Garden That Feels Like Home — a reflective post on what it means to tend a personal site: slow accumulation, things planted for yourself rather than an audience, and why that feels different from posting anywhere else.
