- rumanator 7y agoSteve Klabnik, of Rust fame, has a good history of writing insightful and interesting articles. If you feel he isn't delivering value then feel free to output your own content instead of contributing to drive down the signal/noise ratio of HN's comments section with inane comments on other people's tastes.
- steveklabnik 7y agoYes, I did not expect this to get posted here, for this reason. The first post got a ton of attention, the second one not so much. The self-quote for the thesis for this article comes from a conversation with tptacek in the HN thread from the first post.
- jstrong 7y agoI consider myself a Steve Klabnik fan and even I was surprised to see this at the top of HN haha. Just goes to show you can never really predict how these things will go.
- steveklabnik 7y agoHehe :) I mean, I guess you could argue that it's produced an interesting discussion. There's actually a pretty interesting question here: is the purpose of a site like this to distribute interesting news, or foster interesting discussion? I personally feel like it's more the former, but maybe the latter matters too.
