Thank you. (I don't think that anyone should use "exponentially" that way: it is an art term with a specific and particular meaning, so find another word if you mean something else! Like misusing specific legal or sporting t

Here comes an unpopular nitpick: "... we traced the issue to a 15-year-old Git function with O(N²) complexity and fixed it with an algorithmic change, reducing backup times exponentially." Uh no you didn't. Not possible. At

Some scummy scrapers are snowshoeing their way through scads of (residential) IPs, just for one example. Assuming that there are simple universal solutions, eg based on IP or UA, suggests that you have been lucky enough not to deal with man

Maybe I'm just oversenitised by "Just 3 special weird tricks to ..." rubbish. To me when the very first word is specious and there is no other 'joke incoming' clue/sidechannel/foreshadowing, my toes curl.

It's an overhyped style which I suspect we get trained in when writing for payment. I've tried explicitly to avoid it, but usually the subs will rewrite all headings. Jeff shouldn't be doing it here: there is no sub to blame

Come on: "every" is clickbait and not meaningful here. My huge respect for you took a little knock.

Transient disruption of normal reads seems plausible to me. Any sort of erasure by flashes of light (visible or UV) that did not injure the humans, much less so!
