Linear Ad

No, it is an article that includes a short in-article ad for Linear. It's the text equivalent of when a YouTube video thanks some company for sponsoring the video and spends 30 seconds saying some good things about them before resuming whatever the video is about.

This is good. This is the kind of advertising that people here usually say that sites should be using if they need ads.

		When a video says "so check out NordVPN" before returning to gardening content, I don't have any concerns that the gardening content is influenced by the advertising - they're unrelated. This article is about software development and contains an ad which is irrelevant to everything but software development. That's completely different.

> Switching to another tool felt like a huge project that was just not worth it. Linear took that to heart, and made switching super simple with a 2-way sync, keeping your legacy tool updated. I haven’t met an engineer who tried Linear and didn’t like it. Teams that switch to Linear see 2x more reported issues - engineers actually want to use the tool. More visibility => fewer meetings => happer engineers.

Yeah that's very clearly an ad. They didn't even try to be subtle lol.
