Early Access Policy
Content Release Model
When a dual feature is released, there’s:
- A video on YouTube
- An article, time-locked for 6 months
- Optionally, some bonus “companion” code to the article/video
Here are examples of dual features:
The article version is accessible in advance for sponsors/patrons of tiers Silver and above (~10EUR + VAT/month)
The bonus code, (like in the virtue of unsynn) is accessible for sponsors/patrons of tiers Bronze and above (~5EUR + VAT/month).
Six months after the video is released, the article automatically unlocks for everyone.
Sponsored Early Access
Generous sponsors are able to buy a time-release for an exclusive article.
This makes the article accessible for everyone immediately, and adds a banner to the article indefinitely to advertise whatever the generous sponsor would like to.
If you’re interested in buying a time-release for an exclusive article, reach out to amos@bearcove.eu directly and we can discuss prices and copy!

The curse of strong typing
It happened when I least expected it.
Someone, somewhere (above me, presumably) made a decision. “From now on”, they declared, “all our new stuff must be written in Rust”.
I’m not sure where they got that idea from. Maybe they’ve been reading propaganda. Maybe they fell prey to some confident asshole, and convinced themselves that Rust was the answer to their problems.
