I know meta commentary is not welcome, but this page leaves my head scratching. Based on the other comments this sounds to be a worthy and insightful read but when I click on it all I see is a single paragraph (using an ipad safari, no extensions or adblocker) It ends at “There’s no trick to designing process…”, no button to read more, no call to subscribe, or pay a paywall. Are we seeing the same page?

Happened to me too at first, then the rest loaded. Try browser text-only mode, or replace Medium domain to load via Scribe.rip i.e.: https://scribe.rip/the-death-of-process-cdb0151a41fe
That is what I get when I disable Javascript. With JS enabled, I got a flash of just the first paragraph and after a second the rest is loaded and displayed. Not exactly ideal, that's true.

Still, I prefer not to nitpick over design and code choices when the focus of a link is the content. It's not like our discussion here of the technology will do anything. It only distracts from the discussion of the content. If an author shows up it's different, then it may make sense to tell them. Otherwise, my position is to just let it slide.

If discussion forums such as this had multiple levels and replies about the content, "fun" replies, and discussions about unrelated aspects could be separated, then sure, but if it's all mixed I think it's better to leave it be and concentrate on that main point.

Especially since the article is interesting and makes good points, like this one.
