It seems a lot of effort goes into making this tutorial. The guy working on it seems to be running a business. Although it can be done without requiring a sign-up as you said, I also understand how the author would like more people to sign-up, follow the competition, and potentially use his company's service.
Writing good tutorial is actually pretty hard and time-consuming. Just making it open and not getting any benefit out of it is not a sustainble business.

- sdoering 11y agoWell I could ignore it, if it were not tied for ever to my github account. Something some future employer might have a look into. And maybe I suck at this thing and... ... well you get the point. If I want to have it on my resume, I will put it there. If not it should not be findable, because I once looked into it, but maybe didn't have the stamina to push through. So maybe "ego-bolstering" was a bit harsh. But non the less - this requirement just killed it.
