Kudos to The Guardian for publishing this article on their top-level domain. It looked identical to one of their news articles (including ads). Only the content (excellent writeup) was different. Many tech companies silo their engineering teams writings into a “tech” part of their website. If this wasn’t an ad for The Guardian’s technology team, I think it could be. Putting the engineering team’s content in the same article CMS as the news articles is a small decision that reflects highly on The Guardian’s publishing organization.
- OJFord 8y agoHave you tried to find it from the home page though? It's under `/info`, which un-suffixed redirects to `/about`, which I _can_ find from the home page (it's linked in the _footer_) but I can't find this engineering blog from `/about`, or anywhere else I can get to from `/`. I don't think it's so much a positive choice to use the same system as it is just using (a possibly separate instance of) what they already had, and still squirreling it away in a corner.
- wftglf 8y agoIt's the same system, just without any tags on it that mix it in with editorial content. I think if we wanted it published somewhere like the technology section we'd have had to go through a much more rigorous editing process (we probably wouldn't have got away with 3000 words!)
