And Still I Persist… is a personal blog at andstillipersist.com about programming and politics. Since 2014, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a 2006 post on Apple's management, quoted for its description of middle managers as a layer separating upper management from employees. Also cited for a 2015 post on the Clinton email server's location.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
