3. Content & intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, all written content, images, branding, and design on this site are © Steven Richardson. You're welcome to read and share links, and to quote short excerpts for review, commentary, or teaching purposes with attribution and a link back to the source.

Republishing whole articles, syndicating content to other sites, or training machine-learning models on the content without written permission is not permitted. If you'd like to do any of those things, get in touch.

6. Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The opinions expressed are personal and do not represent the views of any employer or client. Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice — if you're making a decision that matters, get advice tailored to your situation.

We do our best to keep articles accurate and up to date, but we make no warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any information will remain current.
