Fixing the old posts
When I started this blog, I was more focused on writing and publishing than on having perfect texts. That was fine, but after some time, the oldest posts started to show small problems like typos, strange phrases, and grammar mistakes.
And as you can guess, English is not my first language, so this is not surprising. Some mistakes are easy to see when I read the post again, but others stay there for years because my brain reads what I wanted to write, not what is really written.
Using Claude Code for this
For this cleanup I used Claude Code to review some of the oldest blog posts and fix obvious typos. The idea is not to rewrite everything or change the voice of the articles. I only wanted help with the small things that are easy to miss.
And it worked quite well:
For me, this is the way of using AI. It can help me fix problems in the blog, detect small grammar issues, and make the text a little more clean.
But there is also an important limit for me. I still like to write the posts myself. I like to put my thoughts, my examples, and my way of explaining things. If the AI writes everything, then the blog stops feeling like mine.
What comes next?
So for me, this is a good use case. AI helps with the boring review work, but the ideas still come from me.
And I can guarantee that I will never ask an AI to write a post for me (that makes no sense for me since I love to write, I want to keep improving my English by writing and this is my place for my memories), but I will use it to help me fix the small things that I miss.
