Problem is they specifically don't want you to know it's date. Technical marketing material without a date has not expiry date. Putting a date makes content old and you need to do additional work to keep the content updated. If it doesn't have a date it never expires... Not what you and I like and want but what we get a lot of times..

I think the signalling equilibrium works. People with high-quality fresh articles put the date on to gain a temporary advantage, so now when I see an article that doesn't have a date, I become suspicious that means it is old. Like no GPA or graduation date on a resume, it isn't fooling anyone.

  Do people actually put their college GPA on a resume?

    Not consistently (thankfully). Don't, if you're not asked.

      Why can that be a bad idea? (I'm not in or from the US and a bit clueless)

        It is not a realistic predictor of how well folks will do in an actual job.

        Sources? I imagine toiling away at bullshit academic tasks will have some weak positive correlation with job performance.

  I've never put GPA in an application, and never even imagined doing so. I don't think I've seen GPAs in most professional applications. It's different if you're applying to a university, or you're right out of college, I guess.
