Hi, Jess! Since this is a series you post often, felt like I should point out where some UI consideration would be valuable :)

I was skimming the list to see which ones I'd want to read, and then I got really confused about whether the article links were the beginning of the next section or the conclusion of the previous section. Here's where I was at the time:

I think it's because the section headers are the same size as the article titles, the whitespace doesn't distinguish where the boundaries are, and there were several in a row where the header and the article title weren't obviously related so I looked at the descriptions to see which they went with. But, eg the bottom description, "How would you answer this common interview question?" sounds like it belongs with "How to lose a job in 10 minutes", but it actually belongs with the other one. So that was like 3 or 4 ways I tried to look for hints on how to parse and wound up failing.

Not sure the best way to improve it, but figure my responsibility is just to point it out.

Anyway, cheers, and thanks for curating the articles :)
