The BSDs are nice operating systems with considerable interest here.

These interviews are interesting.

The subject of this particular interview is a respected member of HN https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tedunangst

You both answered my question, thanks. I did a cursory Google search and could not determine why this developer would garner any more interest than others interviewed in this series, for example.

The passive agressive answer is 'because people voted for it'.

Ignoring that, it very well might be because Ted is rather active on HN. I don't quite understand your question/concern though?
