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)?
