Why HN links it
Linked as a prior source on Not-Invented-Here syndrome at Mozilla, alongside older articles and discussions on the same theme. The comment cites the posts rather than judging their 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.
