I consider the author of the article to be “relatively new to software development” if this is their first time to have had an Enterprise company abandon years of their work and have their repo archived and/or deleted.

We will probably have similar for eyeballs one day but they may be more invasive.
An example is I logged into a telecommunications provider to pay a bill. Because of all the tracking BS integrated with their site I wasn’t able to view or pay that bill and only after looking into the Network tab in dev tools was it clear to me why.
1) put in silicone earplugs
2) wear noise cancelling headphones (Sennheiser seems good to me)
3) crank your music at 30% louder than you would normally
would love to see a tech write up or blog post or even a Twitter hint but there seems to be absolutely zero transparency.

May you find peace in book 7 which includes…
In the East there is a shark which is larger than all other fish. It changes into a bird whose wings are like clouds filling the sky. When this bird moves across the land, it brings a message from Corporate Headquarters. This message it drops into the midst of the programmers, like a seagull making its mark upon the beach. Then the bird mounts on the wind and, with the blue sky at its back, returns home.
The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The Master Programmer continues to work at his terminal, unaware that the bird has come and gone.
