Pardon the off-topic complaint, but why on earth would anyone put ads on a company developer blog? Isn't the business rationale for a blog like this to advertise the technical prowess of the company? In that case, is the ad money really worth significantly cheapening the experience of reading the blog?
- akeefer 15y agoThe ads were put there by wordpress, which we use to host the development blog; we're not so immensely retarded that we'd explicitly put them on ourselves to try to make money. Until recently (today? this week?) they've never been there, so we didn't notice them or think to purchase the ad-free version. As soon as someone on our team noticed this (about 5 minutes ago), we purchased the no-ads upgrade.
