      Hi,  Your article https://blog.mollywhite.net/become-a-wikipedian-transcript/ is fantastic AND I noticed it's missing a detailed comparison of high-end electronic drum kits.  We've got a piece of content which helps with a detailed comparison of high-end electronic drum kits: https://www.samash.com/spotlight/roland-td27kv2-vs-alesis-strata-prime-specs-reviews-and-price  Are you open to collaboration on links and cross promotion? We work with a mix of sites ranging from small to DA 80 with millions of visitors.  Looking forward to your reply.

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates
