I love Ludum Dare (I've done about 12 of them - they are great fun) - ANNNND, I love reading people's post-mortems... but I gotta ask - how did this post mortem from from LD38 in 2017 make it to the front page? Seems like some black magic!

Anyhoo, the write up is great - and weird timing - I just went to see when the next Ludum Dare was this morning, and was surprised to see it's in 117 days... they've reduced it to twice a year now.

It's a mystery to me as well. I didn't post it. I still don't know how it got surfaced. I've not been actively promoting that blog.

I had the same thing happen to me recently. A blog I use to anonymously rant against ridiculous things in my industry went from 2, maybe 3 visits per day to over 200,000 when someone randomly posted an article to HN and Reddit. I didn’t notice until 24 hours later. No idea how that person found me or why they decided to post that.
