Dave Marshall's personal blog at davedevelopment.co.uk covers programming and web. Since 2008, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. The last post was in 2020, 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 Dave Marshall's blog for write-ups on developer tooling and small projects, such as database-project tooling with phing, scheduled tasks, and a meeting ticker.
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.
