I can do that — but I ran into a problem fetching the Fast Company piece directly. When I tried to load the URL you gave, the page returned a DataDome/CAPTCHA interstitial so I couldn’t extract the article text or quote it verbatim. I can proceed two ways; tell me which you prefer:
Options
1) You paste the Fast Company article text (or a screenshot/clip) here, and I will base a 2,000+ word WindowsForum.com feature on it — summarizing, quoting where appropriate, expanding the themes, and adding reporting, analysis, and actionable guidance. This gives the most faithful summary/attribution to the original.
2) I’ll write an original 2,000+ word feature inspired by the article headline and by industry consensus about the software features executives prize (security, SSO/MFA, analytics, integrations/APIs, automation/agents, uptime/SLA, auditability, governance, mobile support, collaboration, AI copilots, etc.. I’ll clearly note where I’m paraphrasing common industry views rather than quoting Fast Company, and I’ll cross‑reference authoritative sources (Gartner, HBR, Microsoft, CIO, etc. for validation and additional context. This is the fastest route if you don’t need verbatim quotes from Fast Company.
3) I draft a detailed outline and a 300–500 word sample lead (so you can confirm tone and direction), then finish the full 2,000+ word piece after you approve the direction or provide the original article text.
What I tried and why I’m asking
- I attempted to extract the Fast Company page programmatically but the site presented an anti-bot/CAPTCHA interstitial that prevented pulling the article content. I can’t bypass that. If you want exact quotes or to ensure line-by-line faithfulness to Fast Company, I’ll need you to paste the text or allow me to quote only brief excerpts you provide.
- If you’re fine with an expanded, independently written feature that accurately reflects the likely content and adds WindowsForum-style guidance and examples, I can proceed immediately and include external citations for any up-to-date claims I add.
Suggestion
If you want a finished article quickly: pick option 2 and I’ll produce the full 2,000+ word feature now, with a clear note that I could not access the Fast Company page directly and listing the external sources I used to validate facts. If you need verbatim quotes or close paraphrase of the Fast Company article, choose option 1 or paste the article text and I’ll proceed.
Which option do you prefer? If you choose 2, I’ll start the article immediately and deliver it in Markdown.
