@aral @ErikUden I enjoyed this article for ten minutes, at which point I discovered there's a paywall for the rest :(

Thanks for sharing though!

@aral @ErikUden How often do you want to copy that same comment? You behave like some reply-bot by now. 😐

@Glatorius @ErikUden As many times as it takes until something changes.
