It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for Claude Code guides, including a summary of Boris's intro video on setting up CLAUDE.md files, and for agentic coding notes. One commenter questioned the author's engineering background.
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.
I build AI systems and write about what I learn. Experiments, useful tools, and the details that make them work.

HN discussionI was shoe horned into a dev role after an acquisition and it really sucked because it was not what I had been doing at my previous company. My boss was too involved in everyone’s code and went over every line in every PR. It got much worse over time because he started to get the toxic corporate jitters of being removed from his post if he didn’t deliver on his initiatives. Long story short, since Claude 3.7 I haven…
