How this site is made, including AI usage policy.
Site Author
The blog posts and content on this site are written by Shawn M. Jones (or co-authors where noted).
AI Usage Policy
I believe in transparency regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. AI tools may have been used for the following purposes on this site:
- Research: Using tools like AI Overview , specialized Gemini Gems , or Gemini Deep Research. The goal is to enhance my search capabilities and link to evidence (sources) it would have been more difficult to find otherwise.
- Editing: Reviewing text for grammatical errors or suggesting individual word improvements, but not to write blog posts or articles. I am quite capable of writing on my own, as one can see from the work in Portfolio.
- Development: Recommending CSS and JS improvements to this site's source code using tools like the Gemini CLI. Not always "vibe coding" but trying to see how tools like this fit into our brave new software engineering world.
- Limited Content Generation: Creating example diagrams or other specific content. In these cases, the AI contribution will be explicitly labeled with the tool used for its generation.
