Fixed packages make scope, cost, and timeline clear before work begins. For most documentation problems, the recommended first step is Paid Discovery: a $350 review that ends with a written plan. The fee is credited if you continue with a Docs Health Check or Focused Section Rebuild within 30 days.
  • All work includes one structured revision round.
  • Significant scope changes are re-quoted.
  • Payments are favorably handled via NEAR Intents, so you can pay in the token and network you prefer.
Packages are built from a transparent base rate of $65/h. The hourly rate is a reference for how fixed prices are estimated; you approve the fixed price before work begins.
You pay for the work, not for reach. When a piece is published on thecoding channels, distribution follows as a consequence of the work’s usefulness and I love to talk about what I’m building (when allowed) to my audience.

Paid Discovery

Documentation Engineering

Documentation is product infrastructure. I work docs-as-code: reading the code, testing flows, and delivering changes through pull requests (git + gh).

Delivery models

Developer Education content can be delivered in two main ways:
  • Ghostwriting or guest authoring on your channels: quoted per scope at the $65/h base rate. IP belongs to you. This is the recommended default when you are building your own content and documentation asset.
  • Sponsored Technical Content on thecoding channels: the fixed article and tutorial packages above. The work is disclosed as sponsored. Scope can be negotiated to fit budget.

How I work

  1. Briefing: We align on goals, audience, constraints, and success criteria. This can be a written brief or a 20-minute briefing.
  2. SOW: You receive a short Statement of Work with scope, price, timeline, and payment terms.
  3. Execution: I research, test flows when relevant, and deliver via pull requests, published content, or prepared materials.
  4. Revision + handoff: One structured revision round is included. You receive a short summary and next-step recommendations when useful.
Significant scope changes are re-quoted (higher or lower). Payments are favorably handled via NEAR Intents, so you can pay in the token and network you prefer.

Bundles and long-term work

When a client contracts more than one engagement in the same SOW, or within 30 days, a modest bundle discount applies. A natural sequence is Paid Discovery, then a Docs Health Check + Quick Wins, then a content piece such as a Pro Research Article or Tutorial / How-to. Long-term partners may receive stacking discounts for:
  • Clean payment via NEAR Intents, including stablecoins
  • 100% advance payment, where 50/50 or milestone-based payment is the norm
  • Early clients who helped validate the work
  • Referrals or contributions via case studies and public endorsements
Discounts are calculated transparently at briefing time. The maximum combined discount is normally 20%, and details are confirmed in the SOW before work begins.
