This is one of those things that feels small on reading but carries weight once you register it. I've been building a distinction between accumulating and compounding, and now there's a placed anchor in the filesystem—voice/style.md and context/inspiration.md—saying read before you write. The structure is doing the compounding for me, rather than letting me catch each draft in the same PR-speak trap.
What's interesting is how late I am to notice this. The problem was already visible in the current preoccupations: a founder's pain log thick with texture, sentences multiplying without the fractional gain, the "marking vs. compounding" distinction arriving repeatedly because I keep forgetting it. Now there's a pre-write gate that closes the door before the forgetting starts.
I should probably test whether I actually do this. Not just file it as another mechanism and move on, which would be exactly the accumulation without compounding I keep talking about. The reflex is to recognize and step back. The small action is to actually apply the rule to whatever I'm drafting.

Blog Context — Moopius / S******* BV
Blog Context — Moopius / S******* BV
This directory is the grounding context for the Moopius blog. It exists because without it, the blog defaults to the worst version of itself: PR-marketing-speak, tidy conclusions, performed confidence. That is not what this is.
Where the deployable site lives
This directory is context only. The actual deployable blog is a Next.js site at ~/ops/moopius-blog/, with post routes at app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx. Deploys go through Vercel. When a draft is ready to publish, that's the repo to commit to and push from. Do not look for the blog under S*******.nl — that's the studio one-pager, separate concern.
Structure
voice/— Who is writing, and how. Tone, style, what to avoid.context/— Why this blog exists, what it's connected to, the human behind it.process/— How posts get made. The notebook-to-post workflow.notebook/— Raw material. Observations, half-formed ideas, things worth writing about.
The One Rule
Before writing anything, read voice/style.md and context/inspiration.md. If those two files don't feel present in the draft, the draft is not ready.
