> How engineering decisions really get made — case studies from the public record, read end to end.

decidelog publishes case studies of open-source engineering decisions. Each issue is read end to end from the public record — PR threads, mailing lists, RFCs, postmortems — with the maintainers in their own words.

Audience: working software engineers. The case-study format favours real conflict over polite consensus, named maintainers over anonymous summaries, and a single takeaway over many.
