Curious that this is article back on HN 5 years later
- wrycoder 6y agoIf it was old hat, it would not have been upvoted to the front page. Besides, it's a good story and a cautionary tale. I read through the whole thing once again. And bookmarked the new thread of comments.
- intrasight 6y agoI read it again - and enjoyed it again (as much as one can enjoy a cautionary tale). Really I'm just curious how such old articles come back to the front page.
- wrycoder 6y agoAside for some controversial subjects, which seem to get an extra ding from dang, it appears to me that articles get boosted to the front page by getting a good number of votes quickly. There's enough turnover here that many would not have seen (or remembered :) the earlier articles.
