Elias Taylor's personal blog at eliastaylor.com covers security and programming. Since 2026, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times, most often “Anything connected to the internet is going to get hacked to pieces”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-26, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters cite the blog's software-tinderbox post and a post from October 2026 to vouch for the author as a real person and to contrast with a claim in a PHP vulnerability thread.
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.
