What Hacker News says?
Original, Medium-free URL is https://startwithawhy.com/reverseproxy/2024/01/15/ReversePro... Meta request: can we change the URL to the original source? This isn’t quite blogspam (since it’s the same author reposting the same piece onto Medium) but Medium is annoying enough that I’d still rather resolve to the original source
