Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link these posts as references on C++ build topics: unity builds, precompiled headers, and moving from QMake to CMake. The comments cite them as support for their own points rather than judging them.
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.
