Articles (article)

Independent articles bring what official docs often lack: an outside view, real projects, war stories and comparisons. They also contain the worst content on the web, so filter hard.

Where and how to search

Run WebSearch with several queries, in English and in the course language:

• tutorials with code: "<topic>" tutorial example, <topic> step by step, Russian: <topic> пример, <topic> разбор, site:habr.com <topic>
• deep dives: <topic> internals, how <topic> works under the hood, <topic> architecture
• experience reports: <topic> in production, lessons learned <topic>, <topic> pitfalls, <topic> подводные камни
• comparisons: <topic> vs <alternative>, when not to use <topic>, <topic> alternatives. Take the alternatives from research/overview.md.
• platforms: Medium, dev.to, Habr, Hashnode, Substack, company engineering blogs. Personal blogs of the maintainers are often the best of all.

Filter

Read each candidate before recording it. Reject:

• AI-generated filler: generic intros, no specifics, code that wouldn't run
• copies of the official quickstart with nothing added
• posts for an old major version with APIs that have since changed, unless the reasoning itself is valuable (then concepts only, and say so)
• paywalled content you couldn't read

Signals of quality: a real project, complete code or a linked repo, a named author with other work on the topic, discussion of trade-offs, a recent date.

Roles

• deep dives and explanations: concepts
• comparison articles: concepts. In reason, say what it is compared with and what that teaches.
• production stories and pitfalls posts: pitfalls
• tutorials with current, working code: code-truth, structure (when they show a learning sequence)

Expect most articles to score 0.5–0.8. Record the language of each article.
