Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

What Hacker News says?
The problem with this kind of article is they are too trivial to be truly original and don't help testing a real application, even a light one. Who want to test his evening project ? Worst, it's by far too light on karma and E2E testing. They have a lot of pitfalls, traps, and documentation is nearly inexistent. A shame considering the size of these projects. I upvoted, though, because I want more discussion on that…
