With all due respect to Guido, why do people write technical posts (or for that matter, posts of any kind) on Medium? Medium has so much bloat and it is near impossible to read articles on Medium with JavaScript disabled. Even basic scrolling requires JavaScript. uBlock Origin counts a total of 37 scripts on that page and its total size is 2.70 MB. Are 37 scripts really required to describe the ideas in the article, which as far as I can understand only requires just text and images? These days I think twice before clicking on any link that starts with medium.com, and I clicked on this only because it was by Guido.
