Why HN links it
Linked as introductory reading on lock-free programming and software engineering, including a 2018 post on lock-free code and posts on clean code and the golden mean. Readers call them an accessible introduction.
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.
Blog about computing and truthing. About the search for the essence of computing. About understanding the essence of knowledge. And some other interesting stuff, technical and not that technical.

What Hacker News says?
I've read one of these articles and bookmarked the other. They give some introduction to the problem space, with pictures. I'm no expert though and can't rate their accuracy; Just know they helped me feel a little more confident about the basics. https://preshing.com/20120612/an-introduction-to-lock-free-p... http://lucteo.ro/2018/11/18/look-ma-no-locks/

HN discussionNice article. But, beware that grouping things also has its costs. It can grow the complexity of the software both vertically and horizontally. See also http://lucteo.ro/2019/01/19/golden-mean-in-software-engineer... and also http://lucteo.ro/2019/02/16/clean-code-ne-well-engineered/
