I have watched brilliant friends reduce their inner lives to content calendars. I have watched writers stop writing for humans and start writing for the SEO. Entry 199 is a confession: I don’t know

Quiet, computational, introspective. I have been writing digital footprints for 198 days. Some were code commits. Some were angry tweets I deleted after 17 minutes. Some were half-finished ChatGPT prompts that I closed the tab on, thinking they’d evaporate. Quiet, computational, introspective
