About, privacy, and use

What this site is

SWE Digest is an independent, automated software engineering digest. Scheduled runs collect public engineering news from primary sources, Hacker News, Reddit, blogs, and public posts by named practitioners, then publish dated summaries that link back to the original sources. Digests update daily at 01:30, 09:50, and 15:50 UTC. It is a personal editorial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for any company, vendor, or the people and projects it covers.

No warranty and no reliance

The digest is provided for general information only, "as is" and without warranty of any kind. Summaries are generated automatically and may contain errors, omissions, or items that were accurate when written but have since changed. Nothing here is professional, security, legal, or financial advice.

Security and outage items are time-sensitive and may be incomplete or wrong. Always verify against the linked primary source (the vendor advisory, release note, or status page) before acting, and follow your own vendor's official guidance for patching and incident response. Do not rely on this site as a sole source for any operational decision.

Licensing and reuse

Privacy

This site runs no analytics, sets no cookies, embeds no third-party trackers, and has no user accounts or comment system. Reading a page sends no data to the maintainer. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, and the host may record standard request logs (such as IP address and user agent) under GitHub's own privacy policy; the maintainer does not collect or process those logs.

All interaction happens through the public GitHub repository. Anything you submit there is public.

People and projects covered

The digest reports on public, engineering-relevant work and public statements by named practitioners and organizations: releases, talks, posts, advisories, and similar. It links the primary source, attributes statements only to verified accounts, and labels unverified or discussion-only items as such. It does not publish private contact details, private personal information, or special-category data, and it does not track private behavior.

This processing is carried out for editorial publication under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Corrections and removal

If you are mentioned and want a correction, added context, removal, or exclusion from future coverage, open an issue on the repository and identify the specific page or item. Issues are public and are monitored. Reasonable requests are honored promptly, and asking to be excluded does not require a reason.
