HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface frankmcsherry/blog, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

Action plan — copy-paste fixes

3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.

OVERALL DIRECTION
  • hightopics#1
    Add specific technical topics to the repository

    Why:

    COPY-PASTE FIX
    datalog, columnar-storage, worst-case-optimal-joins, dataflow-programming, distributed-systems, materialize, timely-dataflow, differential-dataflow, computer-science-research, technical-blog
  • highreadme#2
    Reposition the README's opening to state the blog's technical focus

    Why:

    CURRENT
    I am a researcher and computer scientist. I used to work in San Francisco, then I traveled a bit, and I'm now in NYC starting Materialize.io. The following posts are in reverse chronological order: newest posts are first. The content of the oldest posts may no longer be correct (mostly those about pieces of software I've worked on, and their state at some time in the past), but they have been retained for posterity (and some humility).
