Why HN links it
Linked for a post on cleaning up broken .dev domains after the .dev launch. One commenter cites it to say that the problem was fairly common when .dev first launched. The comments do not judge the writing.
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.
