Yea, unnecessarily controversial title. The point is that if you want to link to some code, link to a particular version of that code, not the latest version of that code. The whole file could be deleted, let alone a change in line position.
- FooBarWidget 12y agoI'm going to play the advocate of the devil here, and say that it's a necessary controversial title. HN is so crowded these days that an uncontroversial title would never have gotten enough upvotes within 10 minutes to get on the front page.

- Tobani 12y agoDid it need to be on the front page?
- oddevan 12y agoI would also say "necessary" controversial title, but because as a relative newbie to GitHub I might have made this mistake without thinking about it. Now I know, whereas before I didn't; and if the title wasn't engaging/controversial enough for me to click on it, I wouldn't.
