    Hilariously, a link given as an example is now effectively broken.

    https://github.com/styleguide/templates/2.0, cited in a comment cited in the article now just redirects to a style guide landing page with no context.

      In their defense, I think that's the right move. There isn't an analogue for that page anymore, so it redirects to the new style guide's landing.

      I think it's rather cool that they've redirects still going for (quick Archive check) 11-year defunct URLs.
