Now, I am really curious why would it be of any value (putting aside the HN policy discouraging it) to anyone. I understand that GH repo stars help project visibility and may be good on CV but gists?
If it’s not useful to anyone then I know not to spend time on that. Short though as the guide is, and even though it is based on much hard work of others, it still took time to make, much in part because when I write stuff like this I spend a lot of time actually redoing steps to ensure to the best of my ability that what I am writing will work for others too. So I like to know that people find it useful.
The motivation to make a guide for others to follow is that it should be useful for others too.
What I am saying is, when it’s useful for others it’s worth spending the time on writing up how to do it and share it with others.
