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?

From the data it looks to me like established community members were interested in the topic. Perhaps they didn't look at the article, perhaps they noticed something about it that you didn't, and/or perhaps they're familiar with gnocchi's fine submission history.
Slow news day, apparently.
