Why HN links it

The only comment is a pointer to the author's about page for contacting him about the 'Beware the Mean' thread. No comment assesses the writing, so its value to HN readers is not stated.

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.

Trips, projects and the occasional post.
