Why HN links it

One commenter linked this blog as a longer reply to an HN thread asking whether being like The Sex Pistols can help a startup. The comment itself does not say anything 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.

A blog about web development in PHP, computational linguistics, and other things of interest to me
