Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked for a month of Flutter getting-started posts, a post on the Lean HAMT hash maps implemented for ClojureScript, and an older article on the single responsibility principle and its comments.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

We build smart, robust, enterprise-level software that works, both with you and for you.

    Here's a blog post[0] from the guy who implemented Lean Hash-Array Mapped Trie (HAMT) maps for clojurescript. It's really cool stuff! [0] https://bendyworks.com/blog/leveling-clojures-hash-maps

  5. While your statements may be true for a larger company, 20% time is working quite well for our consulting company for myriad reasons. First, of course, there's the opportunity to work on side projects. The only stipulation is that it implicitly (for very loose definitions of implicitly) helps the company. Write open source code, write a blog post, work on your own internal project... but mostly it's been OSS hacking…
