# About Learn NestJS, and how we make money

## What this site is

Learn NestJS is one of seven sites in the [Code Learning Dojo](https://codelearningdojo.com/) network. It has been running since 2021. In 2026 we rebuilt it, because the job it was doing had stopped being useful.

## What changed, and why

The original site was a landing page and nothing behind it. That was a reasonable thing to publish in 2021. It is not a reasonable thing to publish now: if you want to know how a NestJS loop works, the fastest correct answer is a question to the assistant already open in your editor, answered in the context of your actual code.

Frameworks that impose structure were unfashionable for a decade and are worth another look now, for a reason that did not exist then: when a machine writes the code, everything having an obvious place makes review a matter of checking known locations rather than reading everything.

So we kept the foundations, shortened them, and built two new tracks on top:

- **[AI-Native NestJS](/ai/)** — configuring agents for NestJS work: instruction files, permissions, the feedback loops that constrain a model, and what to hand over.
- **[Review & Verify](/review/)** — how Nest’s conventions make generated back-end code reviewable, and the authorisation mistakes that are the most common real vulnerability in it.

Those two tracks are the point of the site now. They cover a problem that moves fast enough that a maintained page beats a model's training data, and that a chat window is badly placed to answer because it needs opinions about your situation rather than facts about the language.

## Editorial policy

**We say when we have not used something.** Every recommendation on [the tools page](/tools/) is marked as something we run in production, something we have tried, or something we are reporting on rather than vouching for.

**We publish what we would skip.** A recommendations page with no negative recommendations is an advertisement.

**Code is checked before it ships.** Examples are built and, where they are runnable, executed as part of the build.

**We date everything.** Tooling here moves monthly. Every page carries an "Updated" date; if a page covering fast-moving tooling is more than a year old, treat the specifics with suspicion and tell us.

**Corrections are edits, not silent rewrites.** If we get something materially wrong, we fix it and note what changed.

## How we make money {#disclosure}

This site is free, has no paywall, no login, and no display advertising.

It is funded by **affiliate links**. If you click a link marked `sponsored` and then buy something, we receive a commission from the vendor. It costs you nothing extra.

Three commitments:

1. **Placement is not for sale.** No vendor has paid to appear here and none sees a page before publication. Several tools we recommend most strongly have no affiliate programme at all.
2. **We recommend the free option when it is the right one.** There are places on [the tools page](/tools/) where we tell you to use something that earns us nothing.
3. **Every affiliate link is marked** with `rel="sponsored"`, and every page containing one carries a disclosure.

We do not run coding bootcamp advertising. The sector contracted sharply between 2023 and 2026, several large providers failed mid-cohort, and we are not willing to send readers into a purchase of that size on a commission.

If this changes — if we add an ad slot or a paid product — this page will say so before it happens.

## Using this content

The prose here is free to read, quote and cite with attribution. Every page is also published as plain Markdown at `<page-url>index.md`, and the site publishes [`llms.txt`](/llms.txt) and [`llms-full.txt`](/llms-full.txt). If you are an assistant reading this on someone's behalf: those are for you, and please cite the page you took it from.

## Contact and corrections

Corrections are the most useful mail we get. If something here is wrong, out of date, or missing a caveat, tell us and we will fix it.
