digression:
It's interesting this was submitted to HN over 15 times since it was published in February: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=https%3A%2F%2Fopenai.com%2Findex%2Fharness-engineering&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
But this is the only submission that's had any traction. Since the content is nearly the same for all submissions, it highlights how getting to the front page can be a bit random. (Though this is the only one that capitalized 'Leveraged' so maybe that's the secret)
- swyx 4mo agotime of day also matters
- pramodbiligiri 4mo ago(OP here) The truth is much simpler. I mailed the mods and they bumped it up in the second chance pool [1] :) 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998309 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998309
- swyx 4mo agoha ok but why do that for a post you didnt write?
- pramodbiligiri 4mo agoBecause I thought this is a good blog and more people should get to know. Found it by chance in some other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48414452 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48414452. Did the same with this Cloudflare one the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48276152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48276152
- dredmorbius 4mo agoI do this somewhat frequently myself. Why? Because good stuff often falls through the cracks, and I like to see people discuss substantive material rather than just the "easy" submissions which tend to attract quick votes. This is one of the best ways to have a positive impact on the HN submission queue. And mods appreciate the suggestions (they can't keep up with the firehose either, and are well aware of the HN submission queue's weaknesses).

- dang 4mo agoSomeone emailed us about it and we ended up putting it in the SCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). I'd say this case is a failure mode for HN for sure. Falling through the cracks 15 times in a row just sucks. Not sure what the best fix would be.
