Classy Code Blog is the company blog at blog.classycode.com, writing about programming, hardware and career. Since 2017, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 19 times. The last post was in 2022, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for technical posts: Android BLE supervision timeouts, building a CPU in VHDL on FPGAs, and a graph of FPGA stock depletion during the chip shortage. The comments cite these posts as references.
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.
What Hacker News says?
