Thanks for the article! Do you have a solution, if any, to maintain links green? Anytime I write something with lots of links, I'm always afraid that there's basically no way to retrieve the original page after some time.

Thank you! It did cross my mind. I've archived a couple of the hard-won links in there that I had a feeling at great risk of rotting. But thankfully a lot of the links are to GitHub pages, so I'm not so worried about those.

Unfortunately, I think the article's readability would suffer if every single link were followed by an [archive] tag. Wikipedia have a better setup for providing both an archive link and a live link, which unfortunately the newsletter format doesn't really lend itself to.

I think copying the links as-is into the Wayback Machine will generally do in a pinch – just a bit of a pain to find the right month to roll back to.
