A few notes on what's here and where it came from.
The archive
Most of the writing collected here was first published elsewhere — on Stevey's Blog Rants (Blogspot, 2006–2018), Stevey's Drunken Blog Rants (2004–2006), Medium (2016–present), and the Sourcegraph blog (2022–2025). The local copies on this site are republications, restored and re-typeset by the author, with occasional inline notes added over time. Each piece carries a provenance line pointing back to its original venue.
Copyright remains with Steve Yegge unless explicitly noted otherwise. All rights reserved — no part of the archive is offered under a Creative Commons or other reuse license. If you'd like to quote, excerpt, or republish any of this material, please write.
Quotations and third-party material
Named pull-quotes attributed to clients, peers, or press appear with permission, or as short excerpts under fair use. Customer logos and publication names appear in a nominative, descriptive sense — to identify the work, not to claim endorsement beyond what has been granted.
Book covers, event photos, and similar third-party material are shown for reference and attribution. If you hold rights to something here and would prefer it removed, see the contact below.
Cover images
Listing covers are decorative. Where an essay already had original illustrations, the cover is a square crop of that artwork. Where it didn't, the cover is generated — image-model output curated and selected by the author, not intended as authoritative or canonical art for the piece. The wyvern site mark and other Wyvern-derived ornaments are Ghost Track property.
Rights, republication, and contact
For permission to reprint, translate, anthologize, or otherwise reuse anything on this site — or for takedown, correction, or attribution questions — please write to [email protected]. Steve reads it personally.
