Some marketing blog long ago said to remove dates so people can't tell when a post was written, and it's plagued blogging ever since. The idea is that "evergeen content" shouldn't need a date, but a date is context. No one is so good at writing that their writing has nothing anchoring it to the context of a point on a timeline.

Hey, author here. I banged this out quickly and didn't update the template to include the date as an oversight. It was written in Nov 2020 as shown on the homepage.

The publish date is 2020-11-02, as appears on the articles list at https://nicholasreese.com/

I agree they should probably make it visible on the article page itself...

Probably forgotten rather than whatever the other comments have heard haha. I didn't even realise my own blog was missing dates till just now

Infuriating is a bit much

If it is a great post, why does it matter when it was written?

How to win friends and influence people was written close to 100 years ago, but it is still recommended in plenty of places.

The dragon book is older than me, but it is still one of the recommended books to write a compiler in.

Why does a blog post have to have a date displayed on it? If it is about a specific version of some software, I can understand, and agree with you, why it should be mentioned in the post.
