Glenn Fleishman writes Glog, a personal blog at blog.glennf.com about writing, hardware and history. Since 2011, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times, most often “The True Story of the Amazon Door-Desk”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-23, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Only one comment, a joking question about whether Amazon's new HQ will still use doors as desks, which points to a post on Amazon's office design. The comment does 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.
