Brainstorm Opinion from Recent Posts

Generate opinion piece ideas based on LinkedIn posts from the last month.

Process

  1. Run 
    ./scripts/print-published.sh linkedin-post
    to read all published LinkedIn posts
  2. Identify recent posts (check created/lastUpdated dates) with themes that have broader appeal
  3. For promising topics, consider:
    • What angle would work for a newspaper audience?
    • What's the broader societal implication?
    • What contrarian or nuanced take could be developed?
    • How can this be expanded to ~3500 characters?

Evaluation Criteria

Good candidates for opinion pieces:

  • Topics with societal impact beyond tech professionals
  • Ideas that can be grounded in local context
  • Themes where personal experience adds credibility
  • Subjects with room for a stronger point of view

Output

Create 1-3 idea files in content/posts/ with:

  • stage: 01-ideas
  • type: opinion
  • Reference to inspiring LinkedIn post in content field
  • Core insight adapted for newspaper audience

Creating New Files

date -u +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"  # For slug
date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z"  # For created/lastUpdated
