Blogging Saved My Life

After graduating university, Brennan Kenneth Brown chose to pursue public writing daily instead of a traditional tech job, finding that blogging consistently transformed his life by fostering curiosity, human connection, and accountability while developing his skills and projects. He highlights that writing publicly has not only opened doors and friendships for him but also serves as a therapeutic practice with documented benefits for mental and physical health. Through personal experience and examples of others, Brennan advocates for writing as a powerful act of self-expression and healing and encourages others to start or deepen their own writing journeys.

Stop Sloppypasta highlights the issue of sharing unrefined, verbatim AI-generated text—termed “sloppypasta”—which is considered rude because it forces recipients to invest effort in reading, verifying, and filtering content the sender did not review or personalize. The site advocates for responsible AI use by encouraging users to read, verify, distill, disclose AI assistance, and only share AI output when requested, to maintain trust and reduce effort asymmetry in communication.
