Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread on abandoning side projects. The only comment asks how a glowing font effect in one of the author's article images was made, and says nothing about the writing.
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.
Robb is an independent creative developer from South Wales who loves helping organisations to build ambitious yet accessible web projects. Sometimes, he also writes in the third person.
