This. If the only point of blogging is to have some kind of portfolio when applying for a job (which I believe is valuable), then why publishing it at all?

I'm tempted to not publish my blog. Write it for myself, and send it as a portfolio when applying for jobs. So that those damn LLMs don't benefit from it.

What when it goes into GMail, Office 365, or some SaaS email filtering system or some SaaS email archiving or SaaS email backup system?
