Ask HN: 3 tips, 5 lessons and 1 grump

1 pointp0d3 comments

Is it just me or has slapping a number on blog titles been done to death? I'm at the stage now were I don't read articles with this type of lead. I guess the culprit somewhere down the line was, "12 tips on how to be a blogging Jedi".

I categorise these titles in the same group as phone calls which start, "Hi, how are you today?".

My pet peeve is the list of inverted 'wrong' beliefs. Don't list a set of false negatives, because I never believe holding a guinea pig by its tail make its eye fall out. Tell me true things without clickbait false tags

I had a guinae pig which did lose an eye. Never thought of selling the story ;-)

To misquote Oscar Wilde: To lose one guinea pig eyeball may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness
