Output over time
Posts are the long-form pieces; notes are the short ones.
One thing explains most of the shape below: short notes began in 2025. 2024 ended on 9 entries and 2025 on 302, but long-form posts only went from 9 to 28. The jump is a new format, not a sudden change of pace.

Inside the writing
What the 685 entries are actually made of.
Typical lengths
- median entry174 words
- average post485 words
- average note171 words
- posts + notes168,309 words
The range runs from The funny future of co-working at 15 words to Setting Up and Using the Pi Coding Agent at 2,478. This panel is posts and notes only, and quotes each entry the way its own page does. The headline total of 171,787 words also counts standalone pages, build-log entries, and image alt text, which is written but never rendered – so per-post figures do not add up to it exactly.
