What a slow season in tech taught me about attention, burnout, and rebuilding with purpose
I haven’t posted much lately — and that’s not an accident.
Life got a little crowded. Not in a dramatic, everything’s-on-fire way, but in the way that quietly pulls your focus in other directions. Projects stack up. The inbox becomes a kind of weather system. And suddenly, you’ve gone weeks without publishing, without poking at a new platform, without saying the thing you’ve been thinking about tech for days.
At the same time, the tech news cycle slowed to a crawl. Or maybe it just started looping. AI got incremental. Hardware announcements got safe. The algorithmic churn kept spinning, but not much of it felt like it mattered.
So I let it breathe.
When the noise dies down, you can finally hear yourself think
It turns out, a quiet stretch in tech is the perfect time to reflect on why you started writing about it in the first place.
TechInform wasn’t built to chase trends or parrot press releases. It started — and continues — as a space to make sense of the shifts. To translate the jargon. To ask better questions. And honestly, that work doesn’t always show up in headline form. Sometimes it’s slower. More personal. Built through habit, not hype.
That’s where I’ve been: quietly rethinking what this space can be, and how I want to show up here.
Here’s what’s next
Starting now, I’m back to posting — at least a few times a week — as I continue figuring out how to grow TechInform into what I know it can be.
That means more writing. More actual testing. More reflection, less regurgitation. I’m not interested in feeding the content machine for its own sake. But I am all in on building something thoughtful, useful, and just opinionated enough to cut through the noise.
If you’re here for that kind of signal, I appreciate you. If you’re just finding this now — welcome. You’re early.
Trevor Score: 10/10 — For Slow Starts and Honest Resets
This isn’t a formal review — it’s just how I felt easing back into writing. A gut-check from someone who genuinely needed to step back to remember why he cared in the first place.
There’s no urgency here. But there is intention. And that makes all the difference.
The Verdict: Back on the feed — this time, with purpose
TechInform isn’t going anywhere. But it is evolving. Slower, smarter, more grounded. That’s the promise to myself — and to you, if you’re following along.
