Why HN links it
Cited only as one of several personal blogs in an HN thread on favourite individual blogs, and in two hiring-thread posts that don't mention it. The comments say nothing about the writing itself.
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.
