Who writes what and why we publish it.
Authors. The yard team — Mike, Andre, Reyna, DeShawn, Jamie, Sara. We don't outsource the writing. Each post is written by someone who would defend it in a customer email.
Cadence. Whenever there's something worth saying. We don't have a schedule, which is why some months have three posts and some months have none. Quality over volume.
Topics. Industry, technical reference, field notes, case studies, position pieces, business commentary. We try to write the long-form we wish we could find when we were trying to learn this industry.
Editorial standards. Every post is fact-checked for industry claims. Numbers get sourced. Customer-name case studies are consented before publishing. No clickbait, no advertorial.
Comments. No comment section, but reply via email — we read all of them.
