This is one of the stories I wonder how it made the HN front page. Whether an upvote ring or clicks-for-hire service used.
There is an interesting side point though. I've been blogging about Go since 2013 (generally writing similar articles to this one) and from 2013 to 2025 I think just one post made the front page of HN. In 2026, all 3 posts I've written have.
My theory is that there's now fewer people spending the time to write original content. With LLMs and AI-generated instant answers in search, the incentive to write these kind of deep-dive articles is way less than it used to be, so maybe there's both less competition and more appreciation for it? That's my working theory at the moment anyway.
Have you tried Lorca[0]? A wails that assumes you have chrome installed (as most do) so: much smaller binaries.
