You can't just write "The following examples are taken from this great [other article]" and then proceed to copy the entire other article, swapping synonyms like you're in 9th grade and forgot about your history report until the night before.
Since this HN comment thread, which was well-deserved, the webpage now implies that the copycat author's account has been suspended (likely thanks to reports from HN users), noting: "ERROR 410 This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.

Pretty egregious and disingenuous article IMO. Even the captions to the pictures are the same. The only way I'd consider this even _remotely_ acceptable is if it began with an into stating "printed with permission from user 'Anthony' at uxmovement.com" or something of the sort.

The article from 2011 ``` Designers use rounded corners so much today that they’re more of an industry standard than a design trend. Not only are they found on software user interfaces, but hardware product designs as well. So what is it about rounded corners that make them so popular? Indeed they look appealing, but there’s more to it than that. ```
What do you think about this, HN?
