This title needs fixed. I had no idea what I was clicking on

  On HN not every title needs to explain itself immediately. It's good for users to have to work a little. With this type of post-mortem post in particular, there's a tradition of elegaic titles, and it seems fair to give poetic license to the author under such circumstances.

    It doesn’t help that the url doesn’t give any clue either. If this post was on their domain, then that would probably give enough context.
