Why HN links it
Only one comment, which does not discuss the writing itself. It links another post by the author, a critical take on open source, and questions his motives for writing on Medium. The linked posts are essays on software companies and open source.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
