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)?
