How a piece earns its place

Three stages, and most ideas die at one of them.

  1. 01

    It starts with a real problem

    Every piece begins with something that cost someone time, money or sleep. If we can't name the hassle, we don't commission it.

  2. 02

    We find whoever already solved it

    Practitioners, specialists, people who fixed it the hard way. If a claim appears in a GeeklyPlug piece, someone we spoke to has had to defend it.

  3. 03

    We publish only what survived

    Anything that didn't hold up gets cut, including the parts that would have made a better headline. What's left is worth your time.
