- chii 11y agothat train of thought just leads to group think imho.
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoSometimes a group thinking produces good results. Any aggregating site is an example of groupthinking. I read HN because I like the way this group thinks and the results.
- intrasight 11y agoIndeed. I hardly look at the titles (takes some training). It's the "group think" that makes HN so interesting and powerful.

- krick 11y agoMaybe. Or maybe you just aren't interested that much in C++ and don't care if some Scott Meyers guy retires. Or maybe you are very much into C++ world and surely know who is Scott Meyers, but it suffices for you to be notified that he "retires". That's why titles exist, after all: to give you an idea if you actually want to proceed.
