Reminds me of this story: https://web.archive.org/web/20130203112329/http://dev.hasenj.org/post/3272592502 https://web.archive.org/web/20130203112329/http://dev.hasenj... Found the link from the following old HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5138866 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5138866 - but had to use archive.org as the article is now a 404.
