## What it is
Artsy's public engineering handbook containing onboarding guides, culture notes, hiring practices, playbooks, and system documentation. It is a markdown documentation repository rather than software.

- read engineering playbooks and best practices
- understand how Artsy organizes engineering teams and RFCs

## When to choose
- you want a real-world example of transparent engineering documentation
- you are designing onboarding or culture docs for your team

## When to avoid
- you need executable software or a library
- you want generic tutorials unrelated to Artsy's practices
