Editorial stance

Twitter is a goblin with binoculars, not the editorial board. V0 watches free sources first: RSS, Reddit, GitHub, HN, arXiv. Articles, research, opinionated field notes, and real user pain reports get top billing; releases are parked lower because staying current matters, but changelog spelunking is not a personality.
