Paul Armstrong's personal blog at paularmstrong.dev covers web and programming. Since 2022, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 7 times, most often “Things I want to see in JavaScript and Front end development in 2023”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-05-01, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in an HN thread on Lit, a library for building web components. The one comment cites a dev.to article rather than this blog and says nothing about the writing itself.
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.
Paul Armstrong is a senior web application developer, specializing in JavaScript, performance, and developer experience

What Hacker News says?
There have been many that have hit the front page over the years. If you're not aware of a technology's shortcomings then you're a bad proponent of said technology. They're also almost the antithesis of what the HTMX crowd also preaches as "the one true way" and meanwhile, Wordpressers will continue developing the majority of the world's websites blissfully unaware that either technology even exists. https://dev.to/…
