Why HN links it

Linked for posts on GitHub's focus on code, running plain Sinatra apps on Cloud Foundry, and Linux distributions and dynamic linking. The comments only link or describe the posts without judging 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.

    If anyone is curious, I did a post about plain sinatra apps and some of the gotchas with Cloud Foundry here: http://lusislog.blogspot.com/2011/04/sinatra-noah-and-cloudf... Sinatra support is pretty basic at this point but it promises to get better over time. The code has several TODOs related to sinatra and node.
