sponsor
One sponsor per post. Audience-fit dev tools and infra only. Full editorial firewall, full disclosure, no banner ads. Below is how it works and what it costs.
If your product is in the stack page already, you have a head start. The audience already trusts the picks.
Tiers
Single post
starting at $500one labeled block · top or bottom of one post
A short labeled block at the top or bottom of one post. You write the copy. I post it as-is, with the disclosure. The post itself stays mine.
Quarterly slot
starting at $1,800four posts · one quarter · first refusal on category
A reserved labeled block in four posts across the quarter. First refusal on your product category for the quarter, so a competitor cannot buy the slot next door.
Field guide sponsor
starting at $2,500one free guide · permanent footer · 12 months
A permanent labeled footer block on one of the free field guides (Cut Your AI Bill to Zero, Token Budget, Local LLMs in Regulated Industries, Agentic Workflows for Lean Founders). Twelve months. Long-tail distribution.
Pricing scales with traffic. The numbers above are the floor. Larger readership and exclusivity move them up.
How it works
Audience fit
The reader is an engineer, technical founder, or AI architect running real workloads. Dev tools, hardware, infra, model providers, eval platforms, and vector / graph stores fit. Generic SaaS, marketing automation, and crypto do not.
Editorial firewall
I do not change a post's conclusion to accommodate a sponsor. If a post says your competitor is the right pick, I will not run your sponsorship next to it. I will offer a different post.
Disclosure, always
Every sponsored block is labeled. The disclosure pattern matches the affiliate disclosure on the stack page: same typography, same prominence, same wording about the relationship.
No banner ads, no popups, no tracking
One block per post. No display network, no retargeting pixel, no third-party JavaScript. The site is on Cloudflare Workers and stays that way.
The numbers
A current media kit (pageviews, post-by-post traffic, newsletter opens, geographic breakdown) is sent on request after the first reply.
