Medium posts are often behind a paywall. For those that are we should remove them from this list. This list should only be freely available material.

Although I'm not a fan of Medium myself, we need to carefully consider the impact of this decision. There are dedicated Medium authors who invest a lot in their content, and it wouldn't be fair to overlook their efforts. Additionally, the links in this repository help people access useful posts, and some individuals would be willing to pay to read that content.

This would only be for the posts that are now behind a paywall like the first one. I would not want to remove any of these good posts, but this is supposed to be a list of free resources. For example when I added the first post about why a person should learn Go, it was free to read. Now it’s not.

Updated the title to make it clear the articles that are still free to read aren’t going anywhere.
