It feels like the title is wrong. Instead of saying "Linux is bad because I encountered X problem in production, which would have been prevented by BSD" the author goes on to list why BSD is better in general outside his specific use case.
Nothing wrong with the comparison probably, but I got the impression the author just really wanted to do the migration and found some reasons to do so, without actually needing it. Nothing wrong with that as well. It's just the expectations set by the title that are off
- eatonphil 5y agoNeither the HN title nor the blog title is saying Linux is bad though. The title seems pretty in line with the article to me.
- gtsop 5y agoThe blog titles says "why we are migrating...". I didn't get any of that. I got " why I like BSD, and thus I am migrating"
- tomxor 5y agoI had a similar feeling, throughout reading the post I wanted to know what the specific issues were that made BSD better suited, it's all been too abstracted. I think many of us (including me) have a tendency to try to quickly generalise our experiences, even when it's not appropriate - and when we go onto explain things to others without the original context it can sound too abstract or come across as evangelical. Either way, it loses meaning without real examples.
