Why HN links it
Linked for a 2012 post on getting by in technical work, which one commenter includes in a reading list for theoretical computer science, and a 2012 post about a rejected Microsoft Store app.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
