I wasn’t suggesting that Dan G’s entire job could be automated. Merely that scanning for historical matches with sufficient karma and posting an algolia link would be a few lines of trivial Python. Clearly even the mere suggestion touched the community’s proverbial nerve. I wonder if Dan G has life aspirations beyond HN moderator and how the community shall survive without his touch.
