Aside: I hate the popup subscription CTA that asks for my email address in the middle of reading the article. How could I know whether I want to subscribe before I finish reading, and why interrupt my reading the article at all? There are clearly marked "Subscribe" buttons at the header and the footer of the page that I could use if I wanted emails. But there's no RSS/Atom feed. I'm just a grumpy programmer that gets annoyed by unnecessary interruptions. I'll see myself out...
