What did I learn is a personal blog at whatdidilearn.info about programming. Since 2017, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 30 times, most often “Writing a command line app in Elixir”. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
