About Lucidnote

Lucidnote is an independent publication of field notes on software, systems, and the craft of shipping. Every article is written in English and translated into several more languages so readers around the world can follow along.

The site is written and maintained by working engineers. Articles come from real projects: what broke, what we changed, and what we would do differently next time. Machine translation is used to widen access, and every translated article links back to its English source.

We fund the site through advertising so that the writing can stay free to read. We welcome corrections and feedback through the Contact page.
