Not me getting the warm and fuzzies from a lovely compliment about my writing, until I realise its just AI-generated bot activity posting for backlinks 😭

    Hi! Real person here (hehe). Just wanted to say I enjoyed your writing on 'A lack of frequency increases the pressure to deliver quality'.

    (It led me to subbing to The Imperfectionist, too.)

    I've been struggling with quality writing, as I've been posting daily, but to what end? Participation points for consistent quantity? Sigh.

    Anyways, I was going to keep this all to myself but then saw this post and needed to chime in to say, "BOO TO THE BOTS!"

    So here are my compliments:

    The cursor trail made me squee in delight.

    I love your Country acknowledgement, and will be implementing my own acknowledgement to the Paiute people too. Thanks for leading the way by example here!

    Really looking to more of your posts.

    Your digital garden is awesome!!!

    Hey another real person here, writing this message using my real meat-brain and not an LLM!

    I think I found your site from your "Generative AI is for the idea guys" article. I stuck you in my RSS reader and have been following along ever since!

    I love your color scheme and how it fits with the parrot :)

    Thank you for your writing!

    I am a real person and I like the cut of your jib

    Boo! I, too, am very much not enjoying this new generation of blogspam. That is AI-generated just adds insult to injury. 😢

    Stumbled across your site while researching comments for static sites.

    Not only did you present a cool technical solution, but this is also such a fun and colorful website. I just love it! (allthough i'm also very thankful for the option to turn of the cursor trail)
