please do not use llms to actually write your blogs. we can absolutely tell. and it means: 1. I don't trust what you're saying (or at least I don't trust any purported 'insight') 2. I don't feel like I'm listening to you (normally I _like_ listening to nuance) 👉 shorter, imperfect yet real👌

The biggest benefit I have found with blog writing and using them is to aggregate all the data points/info about the subject I'm writing about across all our different sources (since I'm writing about Trellis usually, that's our repos, commits, PRs, Linear, Drive, docs, etc).

It helps me formulate all the things I want to touch on, since it is expansive across many sources and months and I don't want to miss anything. Even though I know it's fine if something gets missed and it's good I'm writing it down in general. Have to remember it's ok to ship before perfection.
