  Still JS I guess. There's something almost a bit unique about the combination of how problematic and how popular JS is. Last time we had this combination (extremely popular, inferior design) was on the peak of PHPs popularity. (And now I'm referring only to JS,the language, TS for example is actually nice.)

I'd forgotten about the whole polyphastic sleep fad. Everything else there has stuck around in some form, but polyphastic sleep totally vanished.

  Oh, that one's just on a longer cycle. It's not just a HN thing; the entire Internet collectively rediscovers polyphasic sleep every five or ten years.
