PSA - the HN article submitter ("Tomte") is not Placemark's author (Tom MacWright) despite the three matching letters.

  Tom M seems to not like HN, so this makes sense. https://macwright.com/2022/09/15/hacker-news https://macwright.com/2022/09/15/hacker-news

    Either the snippet has a bug, or he changed his mind and removed it, but it’s not working.

      Hacker News puts `noreferrer` on the link (because apparently Internet Points and Arguments are more important than the courtesy of respecting the wishes of the author.)

    >I’ve learned some bad habits from Hacker News. I added Caveats sections to articles to make sure that nobody would take my points too broadly. I edited away asides and comments that were fun but would make articles less focused. I came to expect pedantic, judgmental feedback on everything I wrote, regardless of what it was. >Writing for the Hacker News audience makes my writing worse. Yeah, understandable.
