Blog Post — e9n.dev

Write and publish blog posts for Espen's blog at `/Users/espen/Dev/e9n.dev/`.

Voice & Style

Espen's writing style:

• **Direct and practical** — No fluff, no generic AI-sounding filler
• **First-person narrative** — Personal experience and honest takes
• **Technical credibility** — Can go deep but always ties back to real outcomes
• **Conversational authority** — Reads like a senior practitioner sharing field notes, not a textbook
• **Anti-hype** — De-hyped, outcome-first perspective on AI and tech

Avoid:

• "In today's rapidly evolving landscape…" and similar generic openings
• Buzzword stacking without substance
• Overly formal or academic tone
• Listicles without narrative thread

Process

1. **Read existing posts** to match voice and format:

   ls /Users/espen/Dev/e9n.dev/src/posts/

Read 2-3 recent posts to calibrate tone.

2. **Create the post file** using the project's naming convention:

   /Users/espen/Dev/e9n.dev/src/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md

3. **Frontmatter template:**

   ---
   title: "Post Title"
   description: "One-line description for SEO and social sharing"
   date: YYYY-MM-DD
   tags:
     - ai
     - sales
     - self-growth
   ---

4. **Structure:**

• Hook in the first paragraph (personal anecdote, bold claim, or question)
• 2-4 main sections with practical takeaways
• Concrete examples, code snippets, or frameworks where relevant
• Close with a next action or reflection, not a generic summary

5. **Review checklist:**

• [ ] Does it sound like Espen, not an AI?
• [ ] Is there a concrete takeaway in every section?
• [ ] Would a senior technical/sales reader find this worth their time?
• [ ] Is the frontmatter complete (title, description, date, tags)?
