Please read the comment below in the gentlest, friendliest tone possible, because my goal is to considerately inform and persuade you, dear writer :)

HTML links make it 10-100x more likely other readers will learn about the thing being mentioned (and thus help increase awareness and adoption of good tools and resources).

https://github.com/gruns/icecream

Example:

    from icecream import ic

    def foo(i):
        return i + 333
    
    ic(foo(123))
Prints

    ic| foo(123): 456


Software library naming has always been terrible and mostly un-searchable, so links definitely help


For people who know how to use search engines, PP's version may be better since it wastes less vertical space on HN.
