Rules — read before reaching out
- 1 Relevance filter. Sponsors must be tools or services genuinely useful to developers working with AI tooling, docs infrastructure, or open source.
- 2 Clear labeling. All paid placements are explicitly marked "Sponsor" or "Sponsored." No native-ad ambiguity.
- 3 No editorial control. A sponsorship buys placement, not endorsement. I don't write reviews with predetermined conclusions.
- 4 Link policy. Sponsor links may include standard UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) for traffic measurement. Affiliate/referral parameters, redirect chains, and analytics injection are not permitted.
- 5 Written trail. All terms are agreed in writing before anything goes live.
- 6 Security review. Any sponsor-submitted PR goes through the same security review as any other PR.
- 7 Termination. Either side can end a monthly arrangement with 30 days' notice.
- 8 Payment first. Placement goes live after the first payment clears.
How to start
