Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Gunnar Wolf's blog for posts on Debian, Ruby packaging and a fake Linus Torvalds key. The comments mainly report broken post links and do not judge the writing.
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.
