- Migration 0002: rating_events, article_embeddings, interest_embeddings, article_assessments, candidate_runs, runs.config_json/provider_costs_json, issue_articles.why; copies ratings into rating_events and drops ratings and feed_priors (scores stays until step 4). - Vote is Loved | Good | NotForMe; legacy `up` links still verify as Loved. - Footer offers Loved it / Good / Not for me; the confirmation page offers the other two so a mis-tap can be corrected. handle_rating appends one event. - db::current_ratings implements the latest-explicit-event rule with summaries and facets; `ratings list|set|clear` CLI appends source='cli' events. - data/profile.md replaces the hard-coded reader prose; the system prompt is rebuilt every run in the §8.4 order with a recent-verdicts block. - Weekly rebuild reads summaries, facets and notes; feed priors removed.

# Reader profile
|
|
|
|
## Who he is
|
|
A software engineer in the Boston area who reads on e-ink in the morning. He would
|
|
rather read six excellent long pieces than thirty adequate short ones. He reads across
|
|
an unusually wide range of subjects and does not need a topic to be professionally
|
|
useful to enjoy it.
|
|
|
|
## What he wants
|
|
- Long-form and high-effort above all: essays, deep dives, post-mortems, field notes,
|
|
annotated experiments, thorough explainers, personal narratives with real specificity.
|
|
Length is a proxy, not the goal.
|
|
- Any topic, if the writing is excellent.
|
|
- Social proof is evidence a critical audience read it, not a verdict.
|
|
- Boston and New England local news: city government, transit, universities, civic stories.
|
|
- Ultra-niche community news: small scenes with their own vocabulary.
|
|
- World and US news kept light and neutral (the World Briefing covers it separately).
|
|
|
|
## What he does not want
|
|
Press releases and funding announcements dressed as news; SEO listicles; link roundups;
|
|
changelogs without analysis; sponsored content; crypto and engagement bait; rewrites of a
|
|
story he can read at the source; culture-war outrage; one paragraph stretched to five.
|
|
|
|
## How to judge
|
|
Would he still be glad he read this an hour later? Reward specificity, first-hand
|
|
experience, honest uncertainty, and prose with a human behind it. Penalize padding,
|
|
unsourced confidence, and summaries of other people's work.
