I think you mean HN. And I am not submitting for the sake of submitting. I read the author's book on macroeconomics and got the link through his blog: this is not a random post. I also thought an article that sums up consensus among economi

There's nothing wrong in promoting a social or political agenda either. We are software specialists and we should educate other citizens, including our clients, about the virtues of good software and the right tools to build it. This is no
