Interviews
Written interviews with the developers, tool authors, and producers who make this field what it is. Verbatim, approved before publication, under CC BY 4.0.
First interviews land in Q4 2026
Invitations are open. If you are a builder in this field and this format looks right for you, write to [email protected] or reach us on LinkedIn. We send a short set of written questions, you answer at your own pace, we publish your words as sent.
What the format is
No call, no scheduling. You answer in the tool you already write in. There is no editing of your words, only light copyedits for clarity that you approve before publication.
Typically 6 to 12 questions, tailored to your work. We aim for a reading time of 8 to 15 minutes for the finished piece.
Your answers publish as sent, with your name, at a canonical URL. Under CC BY 4.0, so anyone can quote you correctly, forever.
Preferred handle, real name, or both. You choose the byline. If you want a link to your work included, you send it; if you want none, none.
