Notes
The original essay lives on Medium. This page is the home-site copy: attributed, canonicalized, and trimmed to the argument rather than the full syndicated text.
Cross-posting is not a growth hack. It is a way to keep a readable version next to the version a platform already indexed. Medium remains a fine reading surface. It is a poor archive. When the design changes, or the URL policy changes, I still want a file I control.
What this repost keeps
- The title and dek from the Medium piece
- A canonical URL that points back to Medium
- A source badge so nobody has to guess
If you are adding your own Medium piece, copy this file, replace the frontmatter, and paste an excerpt or the full essay under the header. The README documents the fields. Do not strip attribution to make the page look native.
