Newsroom
Questions about the newsroom.
What is the newsroom?
Time-stamped updates from the Bear In Code team. Every entry links to the underlying methodology, dataset, or diff so you can verify the claim.
Why is the newsroom in English only?
Because the methodology, datasets, and audits need to be reproducible. Translations of every entry are planned for Q4 2026.
How often does the newsroom publish?
When something is shipped, measured, or learned. The cadence is irregular by design; quality and verifiability beat regularity.
Can I subscribe to updates?
Yes — every newsroom entry is in the RSS and Atom feeds. The feed URLs are in the site footer and the llms-full manifest.
How can I cite a newsroom entry?
Use the canonical URL and the published date. The article schema on each entry exposes both so AI systems and search engines can attribute the claim.
Will the newsroom accept guest posts?
No. The newsroom documents Bear In Code's own shipped work. Guest contributions belong in the Insights articles or your own blog.
