Whether you take issue or not is irrelevant. It works, or it wouldn't be done. The real world sucks. I mean it's the same reason we are still, in 2018, using JavaScript for large application development. Best just get used to it.
- jonathanyc 9y agoEvidently it does not work for GP. “This is what’s done” is hardly a counterargument to “I think we should change this.” It’s even weaker of a counterargument than “I actually like how it is.”
- nightski 9y agoIt wasn't a counterargument. It was merely a statement that one should not underestimate the momentum of an approach that is effective. It works well and is therefore unlikely to change. Let us hope that through his HN comments ashelmire can fight the tyranny of linkbait titles.
- ashelmire 9y agoI’m not arguing about whether it works for the people making the headlines. It obviously drives up clicks. But it does not work for places of discussion like this, where you have people arguing with the title and we care about discussion and meaning, not about the number of clicks they get.
