Write for The Vibelog
The Vibelog publishes honest, opinionated, technically grounded writing on AI coding tools, developer workflows, and the future of software engineering. We are independent — no sponsored content, no affiliate rankings, no vendor briefings that shape our coverage.
What we publish
- Hands-on tool reviews — real usage, real tradeoffs, real numbers
- Guides and tutorials — practical, step-by-step, production-ready
- Opinion and analysis — a clear point of view, backed by evidence
- Career perspectives — how AI tools are changing the job of a developer
What we do not publish
- Sponsored posts or paid placements
- Generic "10 ways AI will change everything" content
- Vendor press releases dressed up as editorial
- Content that reads like it was written entirely by an LLM without editorial voice
What makes a strong pitch
- A specific, arguable point of view — not just "here is what tool X does"
- Real usage data: acceptance rates, time saved, failure cases
- Honest tradeoffs — what the tool does poorly, not just what it does well
- Written in first person by someone who actually used the thing
How to pitch
Send a one-paragraph pitch to hello@thevibelog.dev with the subject line "Pitch: [your topic]". Include:
- The specific argument or finding you want to make
- Why now — what makes this timely
- A short bio and links to two or three pieces you have written
We respond to every pitch within two weeks. If you have not heard back, one follow-up is welcome.
Compensation
We are building toward paid contributions. Currently we offer a byline, editorial feedback, and significant distribution to a technically sophisticated audience. If that changes, we will update this page.
