I submitted the article after discovering it via a newsletter, but unfortunately didn't know it was plagiarized (benefitting the copycat author without properly crediting or compensating the original writer) until checking the comments much later.
Since this HN comment thread, which was well-deserved, the webpage now implies that the copycat author's account has been suspended (likely thanks to reports from HN users), noting: "ERROR 410 This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules. There are thousands of stories to read on Medium. Visit our homepage to find one that’s right for you."
For reference purposes, this is an archived version of the article with plagiarized content that was originally submitted: https://archive.fo/x4UDs https://archive.fo/x4UDs
