I'm super confused by the hostility of this comment. The TIL post was just a summary of a drama that almost removed which from debian and the lessons learned from it about the guarantees and portability of which (none), and how to prevent problems in the future. You can freely choose that the problems don't apply to you, and you can be angry at POSIX and/or Debian for whatever happened or not as many others in this comment section. But I don't understand why you chose to write a belligerent comment as if any of it is the author's (yes me, but I didn't submit it to HN) fault or as if he is arguing in front of a committee to take it away from you. As for Carlo Wood: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/which https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/which links to http://www.gnu.org/software/which/ http://www.gnu.org/software/which/ that in turn links to https://carlowood.github.io/which/ https://carlowood.github.io/which/. Maybe do your research if you want to be a pedant?
