Why HN links it
HN commenters link Ian Obermiller's posts for a how-to on using icdiff side-by-side diffs with Mercurial and for an interview on concerns in large Flux apps. The comments do not judge the writing itself.
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.

on “Icdiff: Side-by-side highlighted command line diffs”We were in a similar spot. Our startup is building a relatively large flux app. We interviewed Ian Obermiller of FB on a lot of the concerns of a large app. You can find a lot of answers to tough questions in our transcript: http://ianobermiller.com/blog/2014/09/15/react-and-flux-inte...
