I noticed a lot of tech bloggers don't seem as eager to write anymore. - Some are posting purely AI made blog.
Another wave of evolution is about conferences are becoming increasingly expensive. Students are less interested in gathering to exchange ideas. Group collaboration is fading. Communities that once felt alive and energetic are slowly shrinking.
It's not loud. It's not dramatic. But it's happening.
At the same time, everyone is moving toward AI — building with it, integrating it, relying on it. And somewhere along the way, many of us (myself included) started neglecting the very platforms that helped us grow: our blogs, collaborative groups
But I believe honest blogging is still essential in 2026.
What's changing isn't whether we should blog — it's how we should blog.
How I'm Moving Forward with Tunnelix.com
This year, I made deliberate changes to align my blog with where technology is heading — without losing authenticity.
Here are the changes I made:
Complete departure from WordPress. I deprecated the CMS entirely and rebuilt Tunnelix using pure HTML, JavaScript, and JSON. Lean, fast, controlled.
A fully self-managed admin system for myself I now manage publishing through my own custom admin interface. No external CMS dependency.
Transparency for readers. Because it's a tech blog, visitors can view logs of the links they are accessing. This is to promote awareness and technical curiosity.
A meaningful, educational footer. The footer now displays useful information about the user's browser environment — not to track, but to educate.
AI-assisted revival of old content. Instead of letting older posts fade into irrelevance, I introduced an AI Rewrite button. It refreshes any articles while preserving their core ideas. I think the idea of making a "legacy" blog is a flop. Blog need to be re-invented and re-engineered. We all know time is an issue and thats why AI is a must here.
Respect for originality. I did not want readers to feel like they were consuming a purely AI-generated blog. So every rewritten article includes a button to view the original version. I think AI has its original way of talking if we don't instruct it otherwise to do. The language, jargons, unspoken communication behind the words in a blog is still hard for AI to replace and that is indeed important when readers go through it and feel the cozy closeness.
TunnelixTwinAI. A conversational AI assistant that can discuss the article and even read it aloud in a more natural, human tone — blending AI with personality rather than replacing it. I chose a dog and think its kinda cool.
