This is certainly a well-known phenomenon, both on here and other similar websites. However, the subject matter is genuinely interesting (there’s a lot to be learned from the design of TempleOS and HolyC) and the linked blog post adds new content to the discussion instead of simply rehashing the argument. She does a great job of avoiding most of the controversy in both of the posts in the series, which can’t always be said for many of the other articles on this topic. The first couple of paragraphs probably weren’t necessary, but they did provide context for people who were unaware.

I find it deeply unfortunate that we can’t have a good discussion on the interesting technical aspects of Terry’s project as opposed to the man himself, especially since the post is about one particular technical feature.
