I don’t see why the GitHub link is any harder to click than the tiny url link in that post.

I’m pretty sure the only reason url shorteners exist with purpose is because of Twitter limits (and software that doesn’t visually hide egregiously long urls), but continues to be used outside of those places due to cargo culting
