If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Didn't think so - it may have been a Hamster Problem, I'm still getting SSL_VERSION_INTERFERENCE errors intermittently.

This article in moderation - Box-shadows Device[^]
Appears to cover more or less the same topic as this published article from the same author: Collection of CSS box-shadow[^]
Both are littered with links to the author's github page - in fact in the latter case, (at least some of) the contents hyperlinks go to the github page rather than to within the article.

Is this site-driving? Should someone have a quiet word? Am I overreacting?

on the first one being in moderation right now... I just went for "poor"

About the links... I do think there is a lot of external links. I don't know if visitors give any kind of profit in github, but if yes... I would think the same as you and go for site driving.

@Sean-Ewington would you mind to have a look? Bring a bit light to the question?

I also went for "poor." Deleted. Did this yesterday too, along with a message of how to improve. Let's see if there's a third.

First of all, Thanks.

About the other one with the links to the github repository... Is that OK?

Links to a GitHub repository are OK for now.
