Why I’m Rebuilding This Site

This site used to have a narrower definition: it was an AI website.

That made the site easy to explain. A visitor could understand the subject immediately, and I could keep adding material around it. Over time, though, I realized that what felt outdated was not a particular page. It was the premise underneath the whole site.

What I want to maintain for the long term is not one permanently correct topic, but a piece of the internet that belongs to me.

This is not a reskin

If the problem were only visual, a new design would be enough. The deeper problem was that the old site decided what I should keep talking about, then asked everything I made afterward to fit that positioning.

That does not match how I actually work. I develop things and make content. I expect AI to remain important, but I also care about products, business, life, and directions that do not have names yet. A site that can hold only one of those interests will eventually become another constraint.

So this rebuild is not an AI site dressed up as a personal site. It changes the starting point.

The stable part is the person, not the niche

I call this place “Not Bad Huang.”

I do not need to pretend that I have found a niche that will never change. What stays consistent is that I keep working, observing, trying things, and putting those experiences into words. The subjects can change with real life.

AI will still be an important part of this site, but it does not have to carry my entire identity. This can be a place for a note, a project in progress, a finished product, or simply an attempt worth keeping.

A personal site should make room for change

I want this site to be a long-term home base, not another content machine that constantly needs to be fed.

Each piece should have a stable address. Writing and work should have clear homes. Chinese and English should be connected only when a real counterpart exists. If a future product needs accounts, payments, or its own security boundary, it can move elsewhere while this site continues to connect the pieces.

The structure does not try to predict every future use. It only makes sure that when the next worthwhile thing appears, the whole site does not need to be rebuilt again.

Starting with work that is actually happening

I will not manufacture posts to fill an archive, and I am not promising a fixed publishing schedule.

The first note begins with the rebuild itself because it is real work happening now. It also captures the clearest judgment behind this site: the value of a personal website is not that it chooses a permanent subject for you. It gives long-term change a place of its own.
