Sources
The guides include only three kinds of sources: official documentation, recognized engineers in the field, and independent institutions.
Choosing sources
- Official documentation
- Documentation published by the team that builds a tool or a standard. They have the last word on how the tool works, and it is updated as versions change.
- Recognized engineer
- A maintainer of the tool, a member of the core team, or an engineer who speaks regularly at major conferences. What they write rests on experience tested in production for years.
- Independent institution
- A university, standards body, or engineering publication from a large technology company that is not tied to a commercial tool. It rests on measured data and experience at large scale.
