FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers. Have something we missed? Pitch us via the contact link in the footer.
- Do you take guest articles?
- Yes — we accept pitches from senior engineers with a strong point of view and working code. Reach out via the contact form.
- Can I republish your articles?
- Excerpts with attribution are fine. Full republishing needs written permission. Code samples are MIT-licensed.
- How often do you publish?
- One in-depth essay every 1–2 weeks. We'd rather ship slow and well than fast and shallow.
- Why no email newsletter?
- We'd rather you came back when something interests you than feel obligated by a weekly nudge. Use RSS instead.
