Why HN links it
Linked for a post arguing that 'I don't have time' is a lie, and a follow-up praising a gap year. One commenter mocks this advice as unrealistic and says most of the blog's posts make them angry.

What Hacker News says?
The very next post in the blog is about how the author is taking a "gap year" and how wonderful that is: https://blogofjake.com/2020/07/06/great-year-for-a-gap-year/ Why doesn't everyone do this? If you feel like you don't have time to achieve your goals, just take a whole year off and do whatever you want! Almost every post on this blog makes me angry, it's really an impressive achievement.
