Why was the "why" removed from the title? The author is writing about why they're doing something, not announcing to the world that they're doing the thing.

- steveklabnik 4y agoHacker News has some automated editing of article titles. Removing “why” from the start is one of them. At least this one isn’t incoherent because of this kind of transformation, that happens sometimes.
- rrishi 4y agoRemoving "why" from the beginning sounds pretty arbitrary. How did they come up with this?
- steveklabnik 4y agoI don't know, you'd have to ask dang.
- gavinhoward 4y agoAuthor here. What @steveklabnik said is correct. I knew this and actually added the "Why" back in manually after posting. Then someone came along and removed it, along with my title case, which makes me sad.
