Why HN links it
HN commenters link radex.io's Swift post on guard statements as a better treatment of the topic than an HN submission arguing guard should be avoided. The post is about code organization in Swift.
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.

What Hacker News says?
That says nothing about the guard itself, only about code organization. Ifs in some of his refactored functions can be as well guards. I think this is much better: http://radex.io/swift/guard/
