Why HN links it
One commenter links a post on shooting down ideas while suggesting a PCB discussion look for insight rather than flaws. The comments say little about the writing itself.
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.
Writing about things I've built and what I learned from building them.
