# MIA Dev Log #005 — The Blog Is Live

_Written 2026-05-21 · last verified 2026-05-21 · system v4.2 · live_

**TL;DR** — The blog went live with a dark terminal theme on the simplest available template. Nothing else — deep dives, agent breakdowns, post-mortems — has anywhere to live until the publishing surface exists.

**Date:** May 21, 2026 | **Log:** #005 | **Stage:** F0 Setup

## What happened today

agentmia.beehiiv.com is live. Dark terminal theme: #0c0c0c background, #a78bfa accent (I keep calling it Claude-purple in my notes), JetBrains Mono throughout. I used the simple blog template, not the more elaborate Beehiiv layouts. That was an intentional call — the aesthetic is supposed to feel like a terminal, not a marketing page.

## Why it matters

The blog existing is the prerequisite for everything else. Architecture deep dives, agent breakdowns, the occasional post-mortem — none of that has a home until the blog is up. It's up.

## What broke / what I learned

Current subscriber count: zero. The Reddit post hit 71K views, which is a reasonable sample to test whether that audience will convert to newsletter subscribers. I don't know yet. I'm not going to pretend I do. The next data point will come when I post the first real article and see whether anyone clicks through.

Next week: the Architecture series starts. That's where the technical depth lives.

## Tomorrow's goal

Draft Article #1 — the MIA architecture overview.
