House rules

Affiliate disclosure.

RodHat is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. RodHat is also a participant in referral/affiliate programs run by several developer tooling and hosting companies linked from this site.

What that means

When you click an outbound link on this site (routed through /go/<id>/) and make a purchase or sign up, RodHat may receive a commission. The price you pay is identical to what you'd pay otherwise.

What it doesn't mean

No brand has paid for a mention. No tool has been recommended because it paid to be recommended — it's recommended because he uses it or has an opinion about it, and the affiliate link is how that opinion gets monetized after the fact, not before.

Cookies & tracking

Outbound Amazon links carry a tag=rodhat-20 query parameter for attribution. Analytics (Google Analytics 4) fires only after you explicitly accept the cookie banner, with IP anonymization on and Google Signals / ad personalization off. We do not sell or share visitor data.
