Carlos Galdino writes Home on carlosgaldino, a personal blog at blog.carlosgaldino.com about programming and systems. Since 2014, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 30 times, most often “Consistent Hashing”. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a 30-years-later critique of the remote procedure call paradigm and a post on writing a file system from scratch. One commenter calls the RPC critique worth reading.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionI think worth reading is "A Critique of the Remote Procedure Call Paradigm - 30 years later" ( https://blog.carlosgaldino.com/a-critique-of-the-remote-proc... ), as well as Tanenbaum's original paper: https://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/Publications/Papers/euteco-1988.pd... . Sure, it's old, but still very relevant. gRPC does better against his criticisms than the likes of JSON-RPC does.
