trey was a name I gave one of the AI tools I used to build itethered — to write fast and put up pages I could not have built alone. For a while this site credited that tool as a co-author, with its own byline. That was the old framing.
There is one person here now, and there always really was: me. The reporting, the decisions, and the byline are mine. I still use AI tools every day — I say so plainly on the desk — but they are tools, not people.
The name came from Trey Anastasio, whose music has been in my head the whole time. That part stays.
