Contributors
Working engineers and architects who write under pen names by editorial preference. Several of our contributors hold positions at organizations whose products we cover; the policy below explains why we accept that and what we do about it.
A note on pen names
Several of our regular contributors write under pseudonyms. We accept this because the people best positioned to write about agentic systems are often the ones whose employers forbid named outside writing. We hold all pen-named work to the same correction and disclosure standards as named work, and we know who our contributors are. If a contributor has a direct conflict on a specific piece — current employer, equity, advisory role — that piece runs under a different byline or carries a disclosure line. The full policy lives in our editorial guidelines.
