About and editorial policy

ixsoftum publishes practitioner notes and interactive tools for developers who ship and run software on their own. This page explains how that content gets made, what the bylines mean, what we deliberately don't do, and how to reach us if something is wrong.

Where this site comes from

ixsoftum.com previously operated as the website of ixSoftum, a Ukrainian software outsourcing company under the same ownership as today's publication. That outsourcing business has since wound down, and the site now operates solely as this developer-focused publication, a continuation of the same domain and ownership.

How this is written

Every article, tool, and news item on ixsoftum is written by a human writer who uses AI tools as part of their process, for research, drafting, and revision, and every piece goes through editorial review before it publishes. Nothing here is generated and posted autonomously. A human decided what to cover, checked the sourcing, and signed off on the final text.

We're telling you this plainly, in this section, rather than through a banner on every page, because we'd rather state it once, clearly, than repeat a disclosure that starts to read as noise. If you want the full picture of how a piece gets from idea to published, this page is where it lives.

Sourcing and staying current

Articles link out to primary sources directly and visibly, official documentation, published guidelines, the original data behind a claim, rather than hiding or de-emphasizing those links. Where a claim can be checked, we want it to be easy to check.

Time-sensitive content is handled the same way: every Tool page shows the date its underlying rates or guideline text were last verified, and every News item names its primary source. None of that is a one-time pull left to go stale, reference data gets reviewed and updated through the same editorial process as everything else, on a cadence that matches how often the underlying facts actually change.
