So, it’s been a while.
The last time I posted here, we were all arguing about whether “the cloud” was a fad or the future (spoiler: it wasn’t a fad). A lot has changed since April 2013 — in tech, in the world, and for me personally. The blog, meanwhile, has just been sitting here quietly, gathering digital dust and judging me every time I remembered it existed.
But here we are. May 2026. I’m back, and I’m going to try and make this a habit again.
So why now? Honestly, AI. Not in a hype-cycle, bandwagon-jumping kind of way — more that it’s the first technology in a long time that’s genuinely made me want to think out loud about it. And this blog always was the place I did that.
Finding My Feet with AI
I’ll be upfront: I’m still very much in the cautious and curious camp. I’m not someone who has an AI-powered workflow humming away in the background doing everything for me. I’m someone who is still working out where it fits, what it’s actually good at, and — perhaps more interestingly — what it changes about how I approach problems in the first place.
That last bit is what’s starting to get under my skin. It’s less about the outputs and more about the shift in how I frame questions. I catch myself thinking “how would I even prompt this?” before I’ve decided whether to use AI at all. Whether that’s a good thing, I genuinely haven’t decided yet.
Over the coming posts I want to dig into some of this properly — the practical stuff, the honest frustrations, and the bits that have surprised me. Less “AI will change everything!” and more “here’s what I actually noticed on a Tuesday.”
It’s good to be back. Let’s see if I can keep this up for longer than a few months this time.
