Sharing code on the blog not any more?

I've been blogging on and off for 20 years.

When I was a teenager the motivation was very clear, I just wanted to share what I found. Like how to work around a bug in some old Nokia smartphone.

Lately I choose an ambitious project for myself in Swift/AVFoundation. I worked a lot on a single feature and I nailed it. I felt that again, I'm going to share it.

But then I felt sad, because I don't have any reasonable traffic to my blog and I know that the first one to see it will be a LLM's crawling bot.

And then it will be redistributed, no accreditation, not my words anymore. On top of that some AI company will be taking money for it, probably from a vibe-coder making an app similar to mine.

I don't feel like sharing know-how in 2026.

I think we are like any other industry right now.
