About TechPlained

For Developers, By Developers
Every article comes from hands-on experience — not surface-level summaries of documentation. We write for developers who want to go deeper: engineers exploring new domains, tech leads making architecture decisions, and students bridging the gap between academia and industry.
The practitioner voice matters. When we explain a concept, we include the trade-offs, the gotchas, and the “things we wish someone had told us” context that only comes from building real systems.
How It's Built
AI-assisted, human-edited
AI-Powered Drafts
TechPlained is powered by a custom CMS built with Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. AI helps generate first drafts quickly and consistently.
Human Editorial Brain
Every article passes through human review before publication. The human remains the editorial brain — ensuring accuracy, voice, and genuine usefulness.
