Editorial policy

The blog is here to help you make better decisions about software. This is how the posts are made, how I use AI, and how I keep them up to date.

Last updated 3 October 2026

Three promises

  • 01

    Written to help

    Every post answers a specific question, so you can move on without searching again.

  • 02

    AI is a tool

    AI helps with research, structure and language. It never writes my experience or my opinions.

  • 03

    I stand behind every word

    Nothing is published until I've read, edited and approved it.

From idea to published

How a post gets made

  1. 01

    A real question

    I start with a question companies actually ask when they need software built, and with what they need to know to make a decision.

  2. 02

    My own experience

    I write down my own experience, opinions and recommendations. They're what make the post mine and not just an average of the internet.

  3. 03

    Primary-source research

    Prices, rules, numbers and version numbers are checked against primary sources such as official sites, legislation and documentation.

  4. 04

    A draft with AI assistance

    AI tools help with the outline and a first draft based on my notes and the research.

  5. 05

    I rewrite and edit

    I rewrite the text in my own voice, fix mistakes and cut anything I can't stand behind.

  6. 06

    Fact-check and sign-off

    I check claims, links and examples one last time. Only once I've approved the post does it get published.

Use of AI

How I use AI

I use AI tools because they make me faster at research and writing. But AI is a tool, not the author.

AI can help with

  • Research and finding sources, which I then check myself
  • Outlines and structure
  • A first draft based on my notes
  • Language and proofreading
  • Suggestions for titles and questions
  • Quality checks before publishing

AI is never used to

  • Publish text I haven't read and edited
  • Invent experience, clients, quotes or numbers
  • Machine-translate a post and publish it as is
  • Create AI images of me or fake screenshots
  • Mass-produce posts without individual review

Sources and fact-checking

Numbers in the posts either link to their source or come from my own experience, and when they do, I say so.

Laws, taxes, prices and version numbers change. I check them against primary sources when I write, and I phrase things carefully where the answer depends on your situation. The posts are general information and don't replace legal, financial or tax advice.

Clients and examples

I only name clients when they have given permission. Otherwise examples are anonymized so the client can't be identified. I never invent testimonials, case studies or results.

Danish and English

The blog is written in Danish, and selected posts are also available in English. The English posts aren't machine-translated. They're written for English-speaking readers with their own examples and currency, and they go through the same checks as the Danish ones.

How I keep posts up to date

I review posts on an ongoing basis. If something is out of date, I update it, merge it with another post or remove it.

The "Updated" date only changes when the substance changes, such as new prices, new rules or a new recommendation. Fixing typos and layout doesn't count.

Independence

I sell development services myself, and the posts link to them when relevant. That's what pays for the blog. If a post ever contains sponsored content or affiliate links, it will say so clearly.

Spotted a mistake?

Email mail@simonij.com and I'll fix it. Significant corrections get a new updated date.
