I've been maintaining my tiny corner[^1] of the internet for around six years and the lack of readers never bothered me that much; nor did the influx of LLMs. I write when I feel like it, when I have something to say, or when I think it's something my past self would read. Sure, there have been times when some of the articles hit the front page of Hacker News but most of what I write gets little attention and that's perfectly okay.

Some of my least favourite write-ups on my blog have thousands of views, and conversely many of my most favourite ones rarely got any. Chasing views and writing stuff that has any substance beyond HN rage bait are completely two different things.
