Hell Oh Entropy! is a personal blog at siddhesh.in about systems and programming. Since 2013, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times, most often “GCC Under the Hood”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for posts on glibc and compiler internals. One commenter points to its gentle introduction to how gcc is designed and structured, noting the author is a glibc maintainer.
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.

What Hacker News says?
glibc's malloc has actually been decent with regards to concurrent memory allocation for a while now, in my experience. I googled around, and found someone talking about glibc's malloc not using a global lock: http://siddhesh.in/journal/2012/10/24/malloc-per-thread-aren...

HN discussionIf you'd like a gentle introduction to something like gcc itself before diving in to writing your own, then you may want to read through: https://siddhesh.in/posts/gcc-under-the-hood.html which gives some introduction into how a modern compiler like gcc is designed/structured. For context, the author, siddhesh is a current glibc maintainer.
