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
