Title is actually "39 Shirts - Leaving Mozilla". Has something to do with HN title debaiting or something IIRC.

What does "39 shirts" mean? Doesn't mean anything more to me than "shirts", heh.

    To be fair, the server was suffering, it's possible the images or the post did not load for the poster.

  At large company gatherings for big tech companies some people get given shirts/hoodies/bottles/etc.

  He has 39 pieces of Mozilla swag (from Mozilla internal events presumably). Basically an unusual way of saying he's been there a long time.

Hi, I posted this with the title "39 Shirts - Leaving Mozilla", but it got truncated to "Shirts - Leaving Mozilla" for whatever reason. I could not exactly go back and edit it. It seems a hn mod edited the title. Thank for that!

  That is what I said : Number prefixes in titles are automagically removed. Indeed it seems a mod removed the 'Shirts' later.
