Abstract
This document describes the format, numbering scheme, and conventions used across this blog. It is not an IETF specification, nor does it claim to be. It is a set of notes, written down, by a backend developer, in the shape of the thing that backend developers read the most.
Status of This Memo
This memo is a placeholder. It exists so this blog has a first post with real frontmatter you can copy. Replace the body with whatever you actually want to say.
1. The Numbering Scheme
Every post gets an SRC-#### number, sequential, never reused. If a post
changes meaning, it gets a new number. If a post is wrong, it gets marked
Retired, not deleted.
The frontmatter block at the top of every post looks like this:
---
title: "Your Post Title"
rfc: "SRC-0004"
status: "Informational"
category: "Go"
tags: ["go", "concurrency"]
date: 2026-08-01
description: "A one or two sentence abstract shown on the index."
draft: false
---2. The Metadata Header
Each post renders a small metadata block above the article: status, category, date, tags, and reading time. It is the closest a website can get to the header of a PDF without printing the PDF.
3. See Also
Posts reference other posts by shared tags. If you are reading this one, you probably want to read the template post next.
4. IANA Considerations
There are no IANA considerations.
