The goal is to be less sprawling, more vulnerable, less perfection gated. More frequent and atomic.</p>
<p>Why? Because I think writing is thinking and I think that is important. Taking some vague feeling and putting it on a piece of paper where you can see it, that&rsquo;s useful. Seeing what you see there, and if it&rsquo;s saying what you meant to say, that&rsquo;s still not easy. Putting it out there, for me, is still a challenge. So this is practice, practice, practice. I believe that quantity is the best way of building quality; gotta have experience to develop taste.</p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tags: <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/tags/about/">#about</a> <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/tags/meta/">#meta</a></p><p>It&rsquo;s me again, <a href="https://www.justing.net">Justin</a>, starting another writing experiment.

<h3 id="ai-policy">AI Policy</h3>
<p>I will not use AI to write any words on this blog. All the words are my own and I stand by them.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/posts/2026/hello/">first</a> <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/posts/2026/on-monospace/">three</a> <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/posts/2026/why-hugo/">posts</a> are test posts written by Claude while standing up this site. I have clearly labeled them as such.</p>
<p>Professionally I cannot avoid using AI; I will also make use of it here on the technical side. I plan to write about that too, but not about the tech. I may write about the experience of experiencing that, since we&rsquo;re all experiencing it to some degree or another and I think I have something to add there.</p>
<h3 id="rss">RSS</h3>
<p>There is an <a href="https://www.areyouelectronic.com/index.xml">RSS feed</a>. I recommend keeping up with me that way. RSS if fun!</p>
