How many heard of Mel's Hack through the Jargon File? Worth a read for the computing and UNIX history (no comments about the author though).
The Jargon file is the source of all sources. I've read it there. We've created Mel's Loop to dive deep into the story, translate it into multiple languages (Hebrew edition is available on the site) and give room to the historical and folklore research that we did around the story.
More on that in the Preface article on the site: https://melsloop.com/docs/preface
It also happens to be one of the (possibly the actual one) primordial HN evergreens so there's probably a large cohort of people who first came across it here. Part of The Story of The Story of Mel, I suppose.
