Sorry I didn't mean to imply that this was your choice. It was a general rant against the sorry state of these platforms that get in the way of the very product they are supposed to be promoting. It sounds like content I would be very interested in. Do you have a blog or somewhere else where this content also lives? Cheers.

I actually owe you a huge thank you for pointing out how bad the experience was!

I genuinely had no idea how awful it was - of course you don't see pop-ups if you are logged in. To be fair to Substack the control to turn off pop-ups was there but it was turned on by default and a bit buried away in the UI.

I've removed any mid-article calls to action and turned off pop-ups now so hopefully a much better and less aggressive experience.

On the S/360, the article I linked too was a short look at how complex some S/360 instructions were and at how assembly used to be written using pen and paper. If you're interested in more on S/360 Assembly then the principles of operation may be worth a scroll through.

Thanks again - really appreciate that you fed back rather than just closing your browser window.
