- schwa 16y agoAnd the poster here just plagarised my original tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/schwa/status/36618789894361088 http://twitter.com/#!/schwa/status/36618789894361088 Lame.
- mbreese 16y agoWell the original is the blog entry, this is the actual pull request. Plus, this title is a lot funnier. What do you expect late on a Saturday night?
- iofthestorm 16y agoI don't read HN much, but I thought that in theory that's something you would expect of reddit and not HN? Isn't HN supposed to be above that kind of stuff?
- gloob 16y agoThere exists a non-negligible rift between "supposed to" and "actually does".
- mbreese 16y agoYou could make the argument that HN would be more interested in the code as opposed to the blog talking about it...
- coderdude 16y agoWhich is odd because starting from the blog you get the author's take on it AND a link to the code. It's not like you just get one or the other. I would think HN would (should?) be more interested in the whole story and not just a link to a codebase whenever possible.
- bjelkeman-again 16y agoIn my experience the stories upvoted on a weekend or holiday are more lighthearted than on a week day.
- ahrens 16y agoThe original is interesting, the Pull is funny. Funny beats interesting most days of the week. I laughed at least, and I think most people did.
