Context and Chaos cat

What We’re Looking For

Voices that make people stop and think — or help them do their work a little smarter.

Context Engineering

Metadata, lineage, semantic layers, docs and discovery — the infrastructure that makes AI trustworthy.

Data Discovery & Observability

Catalogs, findability, trust-building in practice. How do you actually know your data is good?

Data & AI Governance

Frameworks, challenges, policies, tools that shape how we work. The unsexy stuff that matters most.

Case Studies & Post-Mortems

What worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently next time. Failure is the best teacher.

Emerging Roles & Ops

How data jobs are evolving in the age of AI oversight. The new job descriptions nobody has written yet.

Reflections & Insights

Thoughtful takes (not hot takes) on trends shaping our field. If it's worth forwarding, we want it.

What We Don’t Need

Sales pitches or product promos

Copy-pasted or recycled content

Surface-level listicles with no depth

Overly technical how-tos without a "why it matters"

Contribution Guidelines

Length

~700–1,500 words — flexible if the story calls for it.

Tone

Clear, thoughtful, human. Use examples and stories; visuals always help.

Original

Must be original. Credit sources if you build on existing work.

Neutral

Avoid branded shout-outs unless they're essential to the bigger picture.

Editing

Light edits for clarity and flow. We check with you before any big changes.
