And now Google is picking up the definition of footgun(1) from Hacker news! (1) https://i.imgur.com/pHlLFJA.png https://i.imgur.com/pHlLFJA.png

  Your screenshot shows an earlier date (25-Jun-2018) next to the definition.

    Yes it links to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17393292#:~:text=Generally%20a%20footgun%20is%20something,shoot%20yourself%20in%20the%20foot https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17393292#:~:text=Genera.... The funny thing is there are definitions for it in wikionary and urbandictionary yet it is picking the HN one.

      The other funny thing is that that definition is also from a thread involving MongoDB.

        Well, the footgun on this thread is on Docker... There exists an entire class of software that is best avoided. Looks like their usage is highly correlated. As a parallel, I was just saying in a work meeting that the first step towards a good IT environment is not adding some crazy non-causal component like our F5 middlewhare, while waiting for a command to end on our Oracle database. That other class is highly correlated too.

  I wonder if someone who's not known to Google to like HN would get the same result?

    I get a quote from Wiktionary, not HN.

    It's the 4th result for me, in a new browser and a relatively anonymous IP due to ISP NAT.
