Why HN links it
A commenter links the blog's 2011 post on code design, which discusses naming classes that end in -er, while quoting Peter Coad's '-er-er' principle. The comment cites the post and does not judge it.

What Hacker News says?
> (..Manager, ..aggregator,etc.) Names ending in Manager are usually a poor choice. See Peter Coad's "-er-er" principle: > The “-er-er” principle. Challenge any class name that ends in “-er.” If it has no parts, change the name of the class to what each object is managing. If it has parts, put as much work in the parts that the parts know enough to do themselves. See also: http://www.carlopescio.com/2011/04/your-cod…
