Terms of Use

ArchCrux is an independent engineering publication and learning platform focused on production AI systems, distributed systems, system design, and production judgment.

The public site provides essays, guided reading, interview-preparation questions and answers, and information about educational programs such as the Applied AI Engineering Cohort. Interview Arena is a separate application, currently in invitation-only private beta; this site does not provide interview practice sessions.

Public email signup is gated by provider and consent configuration. A cohort waitlist request, when enabled, records interest only; it is not enrollment, a place reservation or a payment.

There are no paid subscriptions or payment based features at this time.

You may use ArchCrux to read public essays and guides, study public interview-preparation questions and answers, and share links to public pages. Email notifications are available only when enabled.

You may not:

1. interfere with the operation or security of the site
2. attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access
3. scrape, mirror, or copy large parts of the site without permission
4. republish full essays without permission
5. use the site in a way that is unlawful or harmful

Unless otherwise stated, the essays, text, design, and site materials on ArchCrux are owned by ArchCrux or its operator.

You may quote short excerpts with clear attribution and a link to the original page.

You may not copy, republish, sell, or redistribute full essays without written permission.

Existing essay subscriptions remain limited to essay notifications. They do not enroll you in Arena or cohort updates. Interest in a future cohort is not enrollment, a seat reservation or a payment.

You can unsubscribe at any time.

ArchCrux may stop sending emails or change the email notification system at any time.

ArchCrux may rely on third party services to operate the site, deliver email, route email, provide analytics, and maintain security.

ArchCrux may also link to third party websites or services.

ArchCrux is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third party sites.

ArchCrux is for informational and educational purposes.

The content reflects engineering judgment and experience, but it is not legal, financial, investment, security, compliance, or professional advice.

You are responsible for evaluating whether any idea applies to your own situation.

ArchCrux tries to publish thoughtful and accurate writing, but no content is guaranteed to be complete, current, or error free.

The site may change, break, or become unavailable at any time.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, ArchCrux and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site.

These terms may be updated from time to time.

The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date.
