After the title switch, this link is essentially opaque. This has to be automated. No one would carefully consider whether this title was more informative than the preview title and decide it is.
- ColinWright 14y agoOut of interest, what was the original title?
- randallsquared 14y agoI don't remember exactly, since it was a paraphrase of something in the article. It was close to "Fire the oldest guy who has been at this company for the longest time and is still not making six figures." Now, admittedly, it's a little baity in that people who click might expect an age discrimination screed, rather than a programming parable. But even so, I think it's obviously better than "Tom, Dick and Harry".
