Why HN links it

Linked from the HN thread 'Build your own decision model'. The one comment asks for a paginated /blog page instead of infinite scroll on the home page, and says nothing about 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.
