Why HN links it
Linked as further reading on REST as an architectural style, particularly the hypermedia constraint (HATEOAS) that a commenter says is the most commonly misunderstood part of REST.
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?
REST is an architectural style, a set of constraints applied to the design of a web API. An API can be considered RESTful if it satisfies ALL of the constraints. The most commonly ignored/misunderstood constraint is that of Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State. You can read more about the application of the term here: http://roysvork.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/why-im-giving-rest-...
