Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as an annotated copy of a 2011 Perforce admins paper, cited in a thread on Anthropic's source control redesign for its note on overspecified RAM.
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.

What Hacker News says?
Yes but that was 15 years ago and do you really think the lifetime cost of building and running a custom VCS will be less than $1m, all in? Also IIRC from the original 2011 Perforce admins paper before Piper, they said they had seriously overspecced the RAM and could use a lot less.
