>I'm seeing these kind of titles (what every X programmer should know about Y) quite frequently which seems like the trend

Some call it a "snowclone". (Previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19072271)

It's a headline writing rhetorical device that's been with us even before computers. E.g. newspaper headlines.

Are you saying that we should replace "by {poster}" with "posted with love by {poster}"?

Only if there really is love behind it. Otherwise, such a message is fraudulent.

I guess I need to have a talk with the Atom devs about expectations and boundaries.

The question mark at the end was new.

They can sometimes be more interesting than 'X considered harmful' articles.

I found the title irritating and childish, as if the author knows what all scientific programmers need or require.

Doesn't the question mark at the end make up for the arrogance of the rest of the title?
