Leaving a comment on github is pretty easy. Yes, you need to log in, but if you really care about that comment you wanted to leave, that shouldn't be much of a problem (and if signing up for an account is a step too far, then you know exactly how much you cared).

I decided to go with github issues because if you just want to post a throwaway comment, then you can always Tweet to me about it and we can both count on that interaction losing traction and being forgotten by everyone in about a day. That's fine, we should be able to have those interactions, but those kind of interactions don't need to be intrinsically tied to the blog posts themselves.

If you want to leave a real comment, one that requires meaningful and direct interaction between you and me (say you a found glaring problem with one of my posts, or you have information that you think would help me update a post or write a new one, or you have real questions after reading a post and need additional information), then this is a much better place to have a conversation that can guide real change to my posts.

Get an account if you don't have one (it's free), and then file a new isssue about what you want to talk about - I'll typically respond the same day, because if you care enough to comment, I certainly care enough to engage with you.
