Loads fine for me with ublock. Perhaps you have a custom rule blocking something?

Nothing custom, so it must be on a list somewhere.

edit - it doesn't have to really be blocking the actual post here even, if their loading code breaks when some other tracking code doesn't run, that could explain it.

I have the exact same problem, except on Uber Eats.

That's probably because you are running software that is meant to hide content on a page.

What's the purpose of this comment?

My point is that a random dev running a pretty plain adblock (aren't we all?) simply cannot view their post. This is down to uber, their practices, an external developer and how uber create their blog (they don't just have the content in the page). If I'm not a special case with extremely weird luck, a bunch of devs seeing links to their posts will open them and not see any actual content. They will then, I assume, be less likely to upvote them.

Given that they are seeing problems with posts being upvoted this seems somewhat relevant.

I have no issues reading their blog with uBlock Origin.

You are running software that is blocking content you want to read. That is my point.

If I put on blinders and then complain I can't see your stuff, that's my fault not yours - regardless if your stuff is good or the worst annoying spam ever. If I want to see it for some reason, maybe I should take off the blinders

> You are running software that is blocking content you want to read. That is my point.

Yes. It's my point too. I am running very standard software for a dev and it is stopping their dev blog posts being visible.

> If I put on blinders and then complain

I'm not complaining. I'm explaining, given the evidence I have, why they may be seeing poor results on HN. If I'm not alone (and since I have no custom setup designed to keep our their blog posts that would be a surprise) then there are other developers who cannot see their posts.

Ad Blocking is recommended by USA government agency for security reasons, not running an ad blocker is a dangerous and suggest lack of information/education about IT stuff.

Agreed, but if legit content gets blocked you only have yourself to blame.

Like turning off JS and saying webapps don't work anymore.

And if someone with a js heavy blog asked why it wasn't getting traction on a lynx centered forum they'd probably be told that their content wasn't readable for a portion of the users.

>but if legit content gets blocked you only have yourself to blame.

If the bug is on the devs then the devs are to blame, for maybe expecting teh ads are loaded, or the tracking third party code.

The project I am working on works with ad blocker on. Also we had issues with users that had a spellchecking extension active, it would create a ton of hidden markup on a contenteditable element, and we made code to handle the issue instead of having many tickets to our support complaining and we telling them that is their fault for using a popular extension.
