Or pay for journalism you'd like to read? It's one of the things that makes sense to pay for.
The rules of the forum you're reading this on literally say that workarounds are fine for paid content.
Isn't copying a page and making it available to others copyright infringement unless given permission by the copyright holders?

Where in the guidelines is that ok?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 the topic of paywalled content and the ethos of it is viewed as off topic as a general rule.
The real problem is that HN doesn't annotate paywalled sites. 1/3 of the links I click I can't access. If I could filter by non-paywalled links I would agree with you
On some websites I can access the content with “reader view”. Didn’t work for this site though
I think temporarily disabling JavaScript works in more cases.
If the article had more journalism and less interview-bites from conference workers and maybe more then a generic overview, I'd agree with you.

As it is, IMO this article seems like more filler, than anything else.
