Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a better idea for the heading name?
> Notice most of the comments already are just related to that, or git in general.
After having read the comments for many Git-related articles, and having posted a few of my own, I can tell you that this would have happened regardless of how well the article was written :)
- pvg 4y agoI don't think it would have been as bad without the provocative title and subheds. They effectively hide the work you've done and provide handy hooks on which commenters will eagerly hang their generic tangents. This is a pretty lousy aspect of HN and I don't think it's any kind of indication the article is somehow not well written. But I think you underestimate how much these initial conditions affect the quality of discussion.
