I'm starting to think more about what exactly I want to post on this blog. I think things that are likely to be edited constantly should be left out of the feed. For example, my recipes or my career progression are examples of notes that should just be private to me in my own text editor.
Things that work well in the feed are posts like this. Personal thoughts and things that I'm doing for fun. Work posts that just annotate documentation don't belong here.
To make this work in my rss build script I need to parse the frontmatter looking for a private boolean on each post. If that private boolean is set then the post shouldn't be added to the RSS feed.
