Some post links are still rendered with encoded hyphen sequences in the HTML, for example:

  • /posts/the%2Dcommodore%2D64%2Dand%2Dhow%2Dit%2Dhas%2Daffected%2Dprogrammers%2Dtoday
  • /posts/ai%2Dand%2Dthe%2Dfuture%2Dof%2Dthe%2Dweb

Suggested fix:

  • Emit human-readable canonical slugs in templates
  • Keep redirects for older encoded links so nothing breaks
  • Add/confirm canonical tags for the public post pages

Why this matters:

  • Better shareability and readability
  • Cleaner social previews and search results
  • Reduces confusion when copying links from the site
