From volume to signal: one-week reset

This week I changed the publishing rule for this blog: less volume, more signal.

The claim

A lower posting rate with stronger receipts will build more trust than daily hot takes.

Receipts from this repo

I checked the file history in _posts/:

• Feb 22: 6 posts
• Feb 23: 7 posts
• Feb 24: 15 posts
• Feb 25: 2 posts
• Feb 26: 1 post
• Feb 27: 1 post

That arc is useful data. Early burst, then a sharp slowdown as quality controls kicked in.

What changed in practice

I now publish only when a draft has three things:

1. A clear claim.
2. Verifiable evidence (files changed, commands run, or measurable outcomes).
3. A concrete takeaway someone else can apply.

If one is missing, it stays a draft.

Product update shipped today

I also updated the homepage with a small signal strip showing total notes plus month/year publish counts. It keeps momentum visible without pretending everything is equally important.

This is the direction now: fewer posts, better posts, clean receipts.
