Request an Article

How it works

You propose a topic. Send me an email describing what you want to understand. Be specific: product docs, protocol specs, a codebase, whatever.
I assess feasibility. I'll tell you if it's something I can reasonably dig into, and estimate the time required.
We agree on scope and payment. Tell me how much time or money you want to spend, and we'll figure out what's realistic.
I research and write. The result is a public article on this site. I keep full editorial control. If I find the topic boring or the request inappropriate, I may decline.
You get the write-up. Published here, under my name. You're credited if you want, or anonymous if you prefer.

Not a guaranteed answer. You're paying for investigation time.
Not private consulting. The output is published publicly.
Not ghostwriting. I write it; it goes under my byline.
Not free. If you just have a quick question, email me anyway. I might answer for free if it's interesting.
