Why HN links it

Commenters describe this blog as a personal story about a programmer who fell hard for a woman he chatted with online. One commenter questioned the site as a whole, citing a different post, and none of the comments judge the writing.

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.

A place to come for solace in the midst of emotional tumult -- a field of clover in a fickle world of thickets and thorns.
