Thank you! Makes lots of sense.

I suppose this makes me interested in why collecting and posting links has become a thing you do with such rigour, but that might be conversational territory rather than comments.

Oh, I don't spend much time posting the links. I mostly just read stuff, and if I think other people might be interested (or should be!) then I'll spend 30 seconds saving it off. So most days it only takes up about 5 minutes total.

(Other than the time I spent writing the script that posts it in the first place, and the time I've spent debugging it when it goes wrong.)
