Why HN links it
Linked for 'The beauty of finished software' essay, which one commenter pairs with DHH's 'finished software' post when discussing NGINX's 1.x versioning. Another notes the same author wrote a 'Selling My Side Project' submission.

What Hacker News says?
Wow, coming from the webdev world. It is so funny seeing NGINX, one of the widest used web servers in the world, on version 1.x. React is on version 19. Really shows how differently new vs. old software is designed and built, and not necessarily in a good way. https://world.hey.com/dhh/finished-software-8ee43637 https://josem.co/the-beauty-of-finished-software/
