Hard Coding Concepts Explained with Simple Real-Life Analogies
- polskibus 9y agoRequires login. Is this a new "feature" on medium?
- JCzynski 9y agoTheir new monetization scheme.
- Hates_ 9y agoWhat's with the new trend of requiring a medium account to read articles? What's in it for authors?
- Raed667 9y agoThey get paid if you like their content
- gsich 9y agomedium.com another site one can safely ignore.
- Raed667 9y agoPaywalled

- MrDosu 9y agoI'm a simple man. I open an article link. I see a signup popup. I close tab.
- ColinWright 9y agoSamer Buna has locked this story exclusively for members. But with a free Medium account, you can access this post, plus two other exclusive stories this month. I get it, that people want to be paid for their writing. But I'm awash with stuff to read, and if there are hoops to just through then I just won't. That's a choice for writers to make, and I appreciate that. They might also just decide that if someone isn't going to jump through the hoops then they aren't really welcome as readers. Not every reader brings value to a writer. It's a choice, and I'm taking the time here to offer data that I'm a reader who won't, in fact, be reading this. I offer this comment in the spirit of trying to provide some value to the writer, and to writers in general.
- minimaxir 9y agoThis is essentially Medium’s new monetization model, which for reasons which have been stated, I am not fond of it.
- cholantesh 9y agoI pretty much never click on Medium links at this point. The platform is bloated to hell and the content is rarely interesting. Not worth my time.
- ColinWright 9y agoYou're saying that even though someone on HN has submitted it you still won't read it - that's an interesting thing to say. If it's lunk to from HN I always consider it might be worth looking at, but random stuff on Medium - no.
- cholantesh 9y agoHN is the place I find most Medium links. I've been disappointed with such regularity that it's very rare that I bother reading once I see the URL.
- xellisx 9y agoI've been noticing a lot more posts from Medium.com on /r/javascript and /r/node. I would say most are junk content.
