What it is

A short satirical sketch in which a Q&A about web servers turns into a profane rant about threads, blocking and non-blocking I/O. It lampoons the hype around Node.js and async programming.

Why Hacker News recommends it

HN mostly drops it as a joke in async, Node and concurrency threads, and some call it hysterically funny.
