s/we/I

I chose to use "we" both because it fits with the semi-formal tone better, but more importantly because I want to give others a chance to open PRs if they choose to do so, so I was basically future-proofing for a possible scenario where I wasn't the only contributor.

FWIW, I will probably circle back here and switch to "I", since I think it's probably worth it to avoid confusion.

I may submit a PR then it would become "we".

Thanks. I'm going to leave it as is. As another commentator has mentioned, use of the singular "we" is very common in academic writing anyway, not that I'm saying that this blog post of mine is "real" scientific research or anything
