You're not wrong.
How in gods name this article made it to the front page of HN is a mystery.
- pwg 8mo agoBecause enough readers upvoted it to cause it to appear there.
- relaxing 8mo agoAny ideas on that mystery, then? Since you’ve got your finger on the pulse around here.
- pwg 8mo agoThere's no mystery. The way any story makes the front page is enough users upvote it from the "new" page for it to appear there. So the answer to the question of "how did it make it there" is exactly what I said, enough upvoted it that it made it to the front page. As to "why" those folks upvoted it, well, on that I have no idea.
- relaxing 8mo agoNo I already knew you have no idea, that’s no mystery.
- GJim 8mo agoYou <-----> The Point.

- paganel 8mo agoWhat can I say, I'm a Billy simp, there's one just behind me as I'm writing this comment and for about a year now I've been forcing myself to buy a new one to put it on the right-side of my current desk (sometimes I'm too lazy for my own good, as in this case). So just seeing Billy in the title and as the actual subject of the blog-post made me upvote the submission, apparently I'm not alone in this.
- criddell 8mo agoBots are in to stuff like this.
- coldpie 8mo agoHey at least it's not Yet Another Fucking LLM Article.
- jvanderbot 8mo agoLiterally today I was thinking about how to organize all my out of date computers in my room, and thinking about building a cabinet or shelves. Oddly poignant. I can't be the only one.
