Partner with The Clearing

Hi Bytes team, I run The Clearing (clearing-ai.com) — a free, independent resource on AI fatigue for software engineers. I think your readers would find this genuinely useful. Quick context: AI fatigue is now one of the top conversations in dev communities. Engineers are overwhelmed by the pace of AI tooling adoption, losing skills they spent years building, and struggling to speak up about it without sounding behind the times. What we built: 254 pages, 438k+ words on the topic. Real data, practical recovery strategies, and the honest research nobody else is publishing. No ads, no VC funding, no product to sell — just free resources for engineers. I'd love to propose a brief mention in an upcoming issue (~75 words). Something like: "If you're feeling the cost of AI tooling on your craft, check out clearing-ai.com — it's the most comprehensive free resource on AI fatigue for developers." Here's a stat that might resonate with your audience: In our survey, 71% of engineers reported that AI tools had reduced their sense of craft ownership — the feeling that the code they ship is genuinely theirs. Would you be open to a quick chat about a potential feature? Thanks for your time, [Your name] clearing-ai.com

Hi TLDR team, I wanted to reach out about The Clearing (clearing-ai.com) — a free resource on AI fatigue for software engineers. I think your readers would genuinely benefit from it, especially given how much AI tooling is dominating the conversation right now. The short version: AI tooling is creating a silent wellbeing crisis in software engineering. Engineers are losing skills, feeling disconnected from their craft, and unsure how to speak up. We're building the resources to help — and we're keeping them completely free. What we offer: A brief sponsored mention (~75 words) in one issue, pointing readers to a relevant page. No hard sell, no affiliate links, no product to pitch — just a free resource that genuinely helps developers. Key stat: 71% of engineers surveyed said AI tools reduced their sense of craft ownership. That's the feeling most developers can't quite articulate — we named it. Happy to chat if you'd like to learn more first. Best, [Your name] clearing-ai.com

Hi SWE Weekly team, I run The Clearing (clearing-ai.com) — 254 pages and 438k+ words on AI fatigue, specifically for software engineers. I think this is the most aligned audience for this content on the internet. The problem we're solving: AI tooling is moving faster than our ability to adapt to it psychologically. Engineers are burning out, losing skills, and struggling to articulate what's happening to them. We're giving them the language, the data, and the recovery path — all free. What I'm proposing: A brief mention in an upcoming issue (~75 words). Nothing pushy — just pointing your readers to the most relevant page for their situation. Could tie nicely to any recent discussions about AI tooling, developer productivity, or engineering wellbeing. Some numbers your readers might find striking: - 71% of engineers report reduced sense of craft ownership from AI tools - 23 minutes: average time to refocus after a single AI-assisted task interruption (Gloria Mark, UC Irvine) - 57% of engineers feel they learn less since adopting AI coding tools Would love to explore this further. Happy to jump on a call. Best, [Your name] clearing-ai.com

Hi Cody team, I run The Clearing (clearing-ai.com) — and I think what we've built will surprise you. We're not anti-AI. We're not another tool review site. We're the resource for engineers who are using AI coding tools heavily and feeling the cost — the skill erosion, the attention fragmentation, the identity shift. Your exact audience. Here's the angle for Cody readers: Our most-read piece is "Which AI Coding Tools Cause the Most Fatigue?" — a brutally honest comparison of Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Codeium across 5 cognitive dimensions. It's not a marketing piece. It's what your readers are already wondering but nobody is publishing. What I'm proposing: A brief mention to your AI-curious or AI-heavy readers pointing them to the right Clearing resource. Or — if you're open to it — a counter-intuitive take from us on what healthy AI usage actually looks like. No agenda. Just a free resource that genuinely helps developers. Interested? Let's talk. Cheers, [Your name] clearing-ai.com

Hi Devweekly, I wanted to share The Clearing (clearing-ai.com) — a free, independent resource that I think your readers would find genuinely useful. Background: I'm a software engineer who built The Clearing because the conversation around AI tooling was all upside, no cost. Nobody was talking about what it does to your skills, your focus, your identity as a developer. So I built the resource I wished existed. What it is: 254 pages on AI fatigue, burnout, and recovery for software engineers. Data-driven, research-backed, and completely free. No product to sell, no affiliate links. What I'm proposing: A brief feature in a future Devweekly issue. Something like: "New resource: The Clearing — 254 pages on AI fatigue and developer wellbeing (clearing-ai.com)." Your readers are engineers. AI tooling is the biggest conversation in the industry right now. This is the resource they've been looking for. Happy to provide a custom excerpt or data point if useful. Thanks for your consideration, [Your name] clearing-ai.com
