One important thing to always remember is that unless someone posted their article to Hacker News themselves they might have had absolutely no expectation that a huge audience was about to descend and dissect everything they wrote. They might have just been talking off the cuff, mentally noodling around or even just using the process of writing stuff down as a means to sort their thoughts. Far too often HN commenters work from the assumption that an author is intending to make A Big Point and very uncharitably deconstruct every sentence the author wrote.

It's only a matter of time before we see a reply along the lines of "OBVIOUSLY 10.15.4 did NOT break SSH, the author just didn't do X Y and Z to fix a very OBVIOUS mistake in their SSH config".

More broadly, Tyler doesn't owe the world anything in this regard. If he wants to post it, cool. If he wants to remove it, cool.

That's my intent. I'll put it back online for others to find once the fuss dies down.
