Submitter and author here: My friend Dave and I made this over a decade ago, and I just stumbled on it again. I found it to be a fun walk down memory lane, and more broadly, an interesting time capsule of HN's culture and tropes.
- jjgreen 4y agoIt got a laugh from me, not much changes. Thanks!
- nicholasjbs 4y agoGlad you enjoyed it! :)
- bediger4000 4y agoWait, a time capsule? The parody article titles all basically showed up over the last week on the serious HN.
- jonjacky 4y agoThanks for making this. I saw it back then and thought it hit the nail on the head. It still does -- if you hadn't put (2012) readers would think it was made today.
- function_seven 4y ago"Twitter is down (2010)" is just perfect. Also, has the phrase "link-bait" completely been replaced by "clickbait" at this point?
- culebron21 4y agoIt was awesome! I think it misses just two things: "Coder's Generalizations on Software Architecture/Careers in Tech", or "Venture Investor's Generalizations on Society". Oh, forgot: "Another Very Long New Yorker Article Philosophizing on Their Local Stuff"
