I think HN should ban people who are too lazy to put a proper subject line on their post.
I mean, "Astral" .... what's that ? The "astral.sh" domain doesn't tell me anything either.
I'm sure those in the know automatically know what it is, but for the rest of us, the title is completely and utterly meaningless.
- rochak 4y ago+1. Comes across as a bad attempt at gaining publicity.
- bityard 4y agoAgreed. I have a policy of _never_ clicking on a link if I don't have at least _some_ idea of what's behind it, and that includes HN. It's the top link on HN right now and I came to the comments just to see what it was even about. And yes, I have regretted clicking on HN links before.
- Zanni 4y agoBanning is a little extreme, but I agree that title is unhelpful. Better title would be "Ruff is a fast Python linter written in Rust" (which is a slight paraphrase from one of the subheads).
- 1f60c 4y agoOr "Ruff creators found Astral Software Inc." or something.
- ricardobeat 4y agoEditoralizing is discouraged and your post will end up edited to match the original URL’s title either way.
- swyx 4y agoespecially when it doesnt seem to be the ruff founder who submitted this particular post. maybe dang or someone will rename it something more appropriate but from hn comments its pretty clear what the context is
