Damn, you just beat me to it. 
I suspect the bulk of the article is plagiarised. For anyone who can't spot it, the spam starts in the "Fixing memory leaks" section, where he wants us to believe that his "rubberised sealant spray" is the solution for memory leaks in a C++ program.

Also, did you forget to report the user, or is it just another caching issue? My vote on the user seems to be the only one at the moment.

It was not "looking for guilty". It was a "I did it without being able to check the link because..."

I didn't take it that way.
I just know that I would have been curious myself.

It's a commercial enterprise looking for contributors to a related open-source project. Looks legit to me, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of those who are more experienced with this kind of thing.

It's a "freemium" product, so the article counts as spam in my opinion.

I agree with Richard. The link in "her" bio is a hint too

Yes, I saw the bio and looked at their website and GitHub project. In one way, they're advertising a commercial product. It doesn't bother me, provided that the free version is useful and doesn't expire. The owners of this site, however, may not want to allow unpaid advertising.

Exactly
If you want to make publicity of your product here because there is a lot of people... pay for it and help maintain the site.

Perhaps just one to watch, although I have reported them as a spammer

Seemingly innocuous post about their menu-generating tool, but appeared to include an attempt at a hidden link next to their signoff (failed miserably in getting the link to work)

The name, avatar and country give the game away. Definite spammer I would say.
