Volodymyr Gubarkov's personal blog at maximullaris.com covers programming and systems. Since 2022, 10 different Hacker News readers have linked it 27 times, most often “Awk Technical Notes (2023)”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link these posts on make-style build tools (makesure compared with make and just), implementing programs in awk, and unusual Python idioms. One commenter called the Awk technical notes a great read.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionThis was a great read, and the previous post in the series. I see a lot of very convincing arguments here ( https://maximullaris.com/awk.html#why ) but for me one of the biggest points in favour of python (and I say this is someone who, for learning, will always just reach for C++ because of my muscle memory) is its eminent readability.
