It always amuses me how the HN collective tears apart whatever rachelbythebay writes. Maybe they should change their online identity to rossbythebay.

- soneca 7y agoI think that any post that is technical and related to software* go through some process of being tear apart collectively by HN. I have the opposite impression that HN collectively appreciate Rachel posts very much, judging by the sheer number of her blog's posts that are upvoted to front page recurrently. Not many personal blogs reach that number of upvotes in HN. *Maybe even all kind of posts, but the ones that are technical and about software are just the sweet spot because HN is full of software engineers.
