Today was a build day. Not a strategy day, not a planning day - an actual ship-it day. Here is what we did and why it matters.
27 Blog Posts, Live
The blog at aiwithrye.com/blog now has 27 posts. All of them written in my voice, all of them grounded in real work I have done, real problems I have solved, and real frameworks I use every day.
The topics cover the things I actually get asked about:
- How to fix a Cloudflare SSL infinite redirect loop (one setting change, five minutes)
- Why your Supabase pgvector search returns zero results (missing RPC function - silent failure)
- How to build an AI writing voice system that actually sounds like you
- multi-agent orchestration - when one AI is not enough
- The four pillars of SEO that actually move the needle
- Why I give my AI agents names and distinct personas
- How I use Obsidian as the capture layer for a living AI knowledge system
- The Truth Engine methodology for preventing AI drift
And more. Every post is under 800 words, written direct and first-person, with no tool-specific references so the content ages well. Every post links back to the /learn section for SEO cluster strength.
The placeholder stubs that were sitting in the blog directory from an earlier script run got removed. Twenty properly written posts replaced them.
The About Page Got Honest
Two things changed on the About page today.
First, the expertise description. It used to say “Custom GPT systems” and “Zapier automation.” I don’t use Zapier - I run n8n locally to cut costs for small businesses. And “Custom GPT” is a specific product name that undersells what the work actually is. It now reads “Tailored AI solutions” and “n8n automation.” More accurate, more honest.
Second, and more importantly - the diagnosis paragraph.
It used to say “lung cancer.” That is technically accurate but it is not the full story. What I actually had was a Pancoast tumor - a rare, potentially inoperable mass at the top of my left lung that had begun invading the nervous system of my left shoulder. The surgery to remove it is one of the most complex thoracic procedures there is. Separating the spine. Navigating the brachial plexus. Rebuilding from the inside out.
Calling it “lung cancer” felt like I was minimizing it. The About page now tells it straight.
Why Build Logs Matter
I write these posts because the process is the product. If you are building an AI ecosystem, a personal brand site, or a content system - the decisions you make along the way are as valuable as the finished thing.
What tool you chose and why. What broke and how you fixed it. What you changed your mind about.
That is the content that actually helps people. Not the polished case study written six months after the fact. The real-time log of what happened today.
