Adam Fallon's personal blog at adamfallon.com covers programming and ai. Since 2020, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 19 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-17, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The linked pages are a CV and a projects page for an iOS developer based in London, not blog writing. The comment is a 'Who wants to be hired' listing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Notes on technology, software engineering, and things I learn along the way.
What Hacker News says?
I started writing little "that's useful to remember" tips on my website. Bit more durable than shell history, and you can share them! https://adamfallon.com/til.html
