Why was the arbitrary date of Feb 13, 2008 chosen?
I think a mechanism with filter-by-date might be interesting but that date of 13 years ago is arbitrarily excluding most 30-something year olds (all but the precocious 18~low 20s that created a HN account?)
- ibraheemdev 6y agoIt isn't arbitrary, it is one year after HN was created.
- gota 6y agoThanks - I had no idea. My question is less about the particular date (an anniversary of the plaform) and more about the year, though 20008 determines more than 'classic', then, it determines 'early adopter' edit - I see your other comment about /classic being from 2009. That makes a lot of sense!
