8 October 2026 — production audit corrections
Engineering-radar employment claims withdrawn
The previous production homepage used labels including employee “burnout risk”, compensation proxies and attrition or job-stability indicators derived from public repository concentration and market-cap proxies. Those measures did not independently establish employee burnout, compensation or workforce attrition. The engineering-radar presentation and its public snapshots were therefore removed from the flagship publication.
People-first leadership index restored
The production information architecture had drifted into an organisation-based engineering matrix. The flagship is now explicitly focused on individual technology leaders. Product and company rankings remain available only as clearly labelled supporting market research.
GitHub leadership reference corrected
Earlier ranking copy identified Thomas Dohmke as the current GitHub CEO. He stepped down in 2025. The relevant GitHub product-leadership reference for the Copilot entry is now Mario Rodriguez, Chief Product Officer. GitHub leadership source ↗
Legal and corrections routes restored
Legacy links to /privacy.html and /corrections.html are now permanently redirected to the canonical /privacy and /corrections pages instead of returning 404 responses.
What gets logged
Material changes include corrected leader identity or role, evidence changes affecting a score or position, ranking revisions, and substantial changes to methodology or presentation that alter how readers could interpret the index.
