How we decide what is worth publishing.

We try it first

If we have not tested it, we say so.

We tell you what we do not know

Uncertainty is more useful than false confidence.

We write for people

Technical can be clear without becoming childish.

We do not delegate understanding

AI can assist the work. Judgement still belongs to people.
