The whole book is available to read online without a download. https://leanpub.com/lisphackers/read

This page is very irritating to read because the colors are inverted from how they should be. The current colors emphasize the question title instead of the answer.

edit: Perhaps not inverted since the titles should still be skimmable, just anything other than the gray paragraphs.

Wow... not just 10X programmers, but 100X, and the only evidence seems to be a firm assertion at the start of the book.

I was coming to the comments in search of what 100x meant -- how it was measured and compared. If someone is 100x more productive, they ought to be able to build systems in days or weeks instead of years, right? Kind of joking, but mostly poking fun at what seem like silly numbers.

I guess the 100x means that they are using LISP? Or maybe the other way around? Not sure.

Meanwhile we are told that HN has excellent protection against upvoting rings. How the heck does this reach the front page in an organic way?
