Our tools are so far behind mostly because everyone’s thinking is still chained to 1970’s hand editing text files mentality. People IN THE LITERAL 1970s were talking about this exact idea. We still don't have this, f

There's a remarkable tension in this piece between "just trust people to do the right thing" and every "PRs are bad because" bullet point which assumes people are constantly doing the _wrong_ thing... Also, I loled

TBH I don't see this as a TeeSpring problem - the code on their page guards against a realistic scenario (the GA script fails to load), but the "break" is caused by uBlock's changes. The article's title is correct:
