It's only happening because Microsoft's Connect conference started today. A lot of new and updated things were announced during the keynote, and stories about them showed up here on HN shortly afterward. Since Connect is Microsoft's developer conference, a lot of things announced there tend to end up on HN.
The same things tends to happen when there's a Google and Apple conference or event. No astroturfing involved; just HN members watching the keynote and posting things they think the community will find interesting.
- dguaraglia 10y agoExactly. This is what happened last year around the same time, when they announced new versions of TypeScript, and the introduction of VSCode, etc. etc. etc. Not complaining, it's great to see what Microsoft has been up to summarized in a single day or two, rather than a trickling of news that I might lose over a span of a year. It's a bit spammy, but since they moved to supporting Open Source, the announcements really check a lot of boxes for me.
