Editorial Policy
How DevOpsNess articles are researched, tested, sourced, dated, updated and corrected, and how AI tools are used in writing them.
Who writes and edits
Every article is written or edited, and approved for publication, by Kiril Urbonas. Articles are not sponsored, and vendors do not pay for or review coverage before it is published.
How articles are researched
Posts are built around a concrete decision an engineer has to make, such as which tool to pick, how to fix an error, or what a setting costs. Commands, configuration and code are meant to be run as written. Where a post states a number (a price, a limit, a version, a benchmark), it links to the primary source in a Sources section at the end, normally the vendor's own documentation or pricing page.
Volatile facts are dated in the text (for example "as of October 2026") so readers can tell when a price or limit may have moved.
Use of AI tools
AI tools assist with outlining, drafting and research. They do not decide what gets published. Each draft goes through a human review of its technical claims, its commands and its sources, and through automated checks that reject filler phrasing, unverified internal links and missing metadata before it can be published.
Updates and dates
Each article shows when it was first published and when its content last changed. The "updated" date moves only when the text itself changes, not when a page is re-rendered or a view counter increments. Articles about fast-moving tools are reviewed and revised when pricing, defaults or recommended practice changes.
Overlapping articles are merged into a single, more complete page, and the old URL permanently redirects to it.
Corrections
If you find an error, an outdated recommendation or a broken command, send it through the LinkedIn or GitHub links on the author page. Confirmed errors are fixed in place and the article's updated date changes.
Advertising and independence
The site is supported by display advertising (Google AdSense). Advertisers have no say over what is written, and ads are never presented as editorial content.
