Here's an update on my recent work and future plans:
Recent Work & Testing
I've been a bit quiet lately, as I've been focused on various back-end projects and extensive product testing, including some of my own builds. It's a shame I haven't shared more of this publicly as I would have liked.
I'll be sharing my YouTube channel to give you a glimpse of what I've been up to. When time permits, I'll also write a detailed breakdown of all the different products I've tested.
Writing Process & AI Experimentation
I've been exploring ways to streamline my internal writing process. I experimented with AI agents for content creation, but ultimately decided against deploying a fully automated system to my blog. The sheer amount of "AI slop" online made me uncomfortable with that approach. Thankfully, I held back, as even Anthropic recently removed their own automated blog system due to transparency concerns and backlash.
Currently, I'm using a basic dictation format, which significantly speeds up my writing. Looking ahead, I'm considering fine-tuning a smaller language model (LLM) to my own voice and writing style. This wouldn't write for me directly, but rather act as a "mini voice editor" to maintain a personal touch.
Website Revamp & Architecture Research
I'm also planning a revamp of the main page's front end. I'll be running tests with various recording apps, like Novable, to hopefully come up with a much improved design.
Furthermore, I'm contemplating changing the underlying architecture of the site to use Go (Golang) as the programming language and host it as a container. I'm currently deep into architecture research and design, with a strong focus on protection and security. This was prompted by a recent Reddit post where someone incurred massive cloud billing due to unsecured endpoints, highlighting the critical importance of locking these down before scaling up.
That's all for now – just a quick update to keep you in the loop. I hope to get back to a more consistent cadence soon!
