Is there a promotional code for HN? I was a happy user of HTMLUnit [1] with Jython [2] in the past and am very interested in a future where we can automatically generate portions of browser code using code generation and verification techniques. I've never felt as comfortable with tools like Playwright/Cypress/Selenium as I did with HTMLUnit (with all due respect to both).

The book isn’t out yet, so no promo code, but the whole thing is free online.

Thank you for your prompt response. I understand the item isn't available, but I clicked the "Add to Cart" button thinking it would either place me on a waitlist or ship once available. However, I was then prompted to enter a promo code, which caused the confusion.

Ah, weird! We can ask our publisher. This HN post was a surprise (Chis & I didn’t put it up) so we weren’t prepared.

I was able to pre-order the book just fine — it didn't prompt me for any promo codes.
