Surprisingly, one of the chatbot&rsquo;s answers was to &ldquo;start a personal blog&rdquo;. My first reaction was something along the lines of &ldquo;yeah, that moronic chatbot thinks that by writing essays for myself (who reads blogs nowadays?) I&rsquo;m going to make a positive impact on my life&rdquo;. The thing is that the idea lingered in my head and, the more days passed, the more sense it made. I ended up making the decision and following the advice of the robotic overlord, decided to start my own personal blog. This first post is a collection of the reasons that pushed me to start writing in 2026, the age of LLMs, social media and short-form video consumption.</p>
