Thank you for raising this issue. This is part of a blog post written by our own Briggs. Edit: Here's a link to the relevant blog post: https://dev.to/theodinproject/learning-code-f56

I'll ping him and see if he can edit the blog post with a different link. @I3uckwheat

Hey Josh, I think there has been confusion (although I'm not sure if it's on my side or yours). The link you just provided goes to the article, which already was working. It's the link inside that article to a UNF page that is broken.

I understand you fine.

We control the blog post. It was written by a former maintainer for The Odin Project, and that person is still present in our community. The link goes to a page that we do not control, so there's nothing we can really do about fixing that content.

Therefore the only really feasible solution is to get Briggs (the author of the blog post) to edit the post and use a different link or eliminate the link.
