You should consider making this it's own article.

"...the designers job is not to pass along "the design" but to pass along "the theories" driving the design. Knowledge of the theory is tacit in owning..."

I would prefer people read the original paper than any second-hand explanation of it. The paper is very readabale and understandable, and is probably relevant as long as into the future as human beings write code.

When mcnichol said "make this its own article", they probably meant to submit the link to HN as its own submission, not to blog about it.

Yeah, that's what was meant. Totally agreed with the statement above this one, it reads well.
