The article itself is fantastic. However, this is a great example of what makes catnip for HN - 1) Use scientific terms (e.g. vector fields, waves resonance)

The article itself is fantastic. However, this is a great example of what makes catnip for HN -
1) Use scientific terms (e.g. vector fields, waves resonance)
2) Cite tech influencers (e.g. Sholto Douglas, Tyler Cowen)
3) Make the subject an abstract novel field that most developers or tech folk don't really pay attention and use #1 and #2 to make it relevant
- pickledoyster 2y agoHonestly, the entire blog feels that way: referencing the same old tropes and personalities in a slightly novel context. A sort of a comfort read for the web2.0 nostalgia crowd. I guess this approach worked, since it allowed the author to go on writing full time in Denmark (HCoL), which is an achievement these days.
