I actually owe you a huge thank you for pointing out how bad the experience was!
I genuinely had no idea how awful it was - of course you don't see pop-ups if you are logged in. To be fair to Substack the control to turn off pop-ups was there but it was turned on by default and a bit buried away in the UI.
I've removed any mid-article calls to action and turned off pop-ups now so hopefully a much better and less aggressive experience.
On the S/360, the article I linked to was a short look at how complex some S/360 instructions were and at how assembly used to be written using pen and paper. If you're interested in more on S/360 Assembly then the principles of operation may be worth a scroll through. [1]
Thanks again - really appreciate that you fed back rather than just closing your browser window.
