- mitchbob 5y agoRemoving "How" is one of those automatic edits to titles made by HN, and I think it's a bad idea, as it often changes the meaning. Fortunately, it's possible to for the submitter to click "edit" and change it back to the original.

- happytoexplain 5y agoIt's pretty surprising to me that HN implements this. It seems like the exact kind of cute/clever automation that "good programmers" know to avoid - the kind that produces really bad results often enough to be nowhere near worth the benefit.
