I used to write blog posts the old way. Open a blank page. Stare at it. Write something. Rewrite it three times. Publish. Repeat every two weeks when I remembered to do it.

Now I have a system that writes and publishes for me. Not a spam bot. Not auto-generated garbage. Actual technical articles in my voice, posted on a schedule, while I'm doing something else.

Here's the honest breakdown of how it works, what it costs, and where it falls apart.

The Problem: Consistency

I've been running a few side projects for a while now — a GPU rental setup, some Telegram bots, a Garmin watch face. Every few months I'd think "I should write about this" and then... not do it. The gap between "built something cool" and "published an article about it" was basically infinite.
