Why real human content wins in an AI-flooded feed

This is a sample post demonstrating the workflow: written in Notion, exported as markdown, dropped into src/content/blog/, frontmatter added.

The frontmatter is the contract

Every post needs a title, description, and pubDate, or the build fails. That’s the guardrail. The same fields exist as properties in the Notion blog database, so if this site ever moves to pulling posts straight from the Notion API, nothing about the templates changes.

What goes in a post

Regular markdown. Headings, lists, links, blockquotes:

Content with a point of view from someone who’s done the work beats polished content about nothing, every time.

Images go in src/assets/ and get optimized at build time.
