Why HN links it

A commenter links a post for a line about technology: "Information technology has not happened yet." The comment is a neutral aside in a thread about a Bluetooth headset battery app and does not judge 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.
