Why read a non-electrician on code changes
It is a fair question and it deserves a direct answer rather than a credential.

The honest answer
Jeff Clerisier, Trojan Digital Marketing. I am not a licensed electrician and you are, or you would not be on this site.
So the case for reading this is not expertise in the trade. It is that tracking what changed between editions is a reading problem, and it is one most people do not have time to do properly while working.
What that work actually involves
Reading the new edition against the old one. Noticing that an article moved rather than changed. Checking whether a section has been amended after publication, which happens more than people expect and does not show up in a printed book.
None of that requires a license. It requires time and care, and being wrong about it is cheap to check, because every claim here points at a section you can read yourself.
What this site will not do
- Tell you whether an installation complies. That is your call and your inspector’s.
- Reproduce code text or tables. Section numbers are cited. The text you read in your own copy.
- Become a searchable code lookup. That is a different product with a different legal posture and this site will not drift into it.
Where this site is incomplete, stated plainly
Parts of the code have been read closely here and parts have not. Where a section has not been read, the page says so rather than summarizing from memory or from someone else’s summary.
A stated gap is safe. A gap filled with something plausible is how bad information spreads in this trade.
