(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

- 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).
