Why I'm Writing So Much

You’ve probably noticed I’m writing a lot. Here’s why I keep going anyway.

I’ve put out more in the last three months than in the previous decade. Some of it half-formed. Some of it I’d rewrite the morning after. I keep going.

The real reason: I don’t know another way to keep up. This field is moving too fast. A new model, a new capability, a pattern that rewrites something I thought I understood. Every week. Just reading about it feels like watching from the stands.

Writing forces a reckoning. I use AI to help get things out. I assume that’s obvious. But you still have to know what you’re trying to say before you sit down. That part is yours. Trying to explain something is how you find out whether you actually understand it or just absorbed it.

Turns out there’s a difference.

What I didn’t expect: people thinking through the same questions from a DTC angle, a software angle, a builder angle I hadn’t considered. The replies, the DMs. That caught me off guard.

I don’t write because I have answers. I write because the questions are moving too fast to keep in my head.

What does your version of keeping up look like?
