Editorial Policy

Dev Drunk publishes backend engineering notes that aim to be technically verifiable, version-aware, and honest about their evidence.

Editorial process

  1. Define the problem, constraints, and intended reader.
  2. Prefer current official documentation, specifications, and primary project sources.
  3. Check version compatibility and identify deprecated or end-of-life technology.
  4. Validate code examples where practical and label illustrative code clearly.
  5. Review links, claims, title, excerpt, and limitations before publication.
  6. Correct, rewrite, noindex, or remove material when a serious problem is confirmed.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may be used for research support, outlining, proofreading, translation, or content organization. AI output is not accepted as an authoritative reference. It must not be used to fabricate incidents, employers, measurements, citations, libraries, documentation, or personal experience.

Evidence and experience

Production claims should be supported by evidence that can be responsibly shared. Lab work, benchmarks, reference implementations, and hypothetical designs should be labeled as such. Sensitive company or customer information is not published.

Corrections and legacy content

The archive is under continuous review. Existing posts may be kept, rewritten, temporarily noindexed, redirected, or deleted depending on source quality, code validity, freshness, and unique value. A post is not retained merely because it is long or already indexed.

Advertising and independence

Advertising does not determine technical conclusions. Sponsored or affiliate relationships, if used, should be disclosed clearly. Ads must not be presented as editorial recommendations.
