Recent Article Here, what was it?

There was a post here a few weeks ago discussing offering cash incentives for bug fixes or adding features. Can anyone link it to me?

Or this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1532251

If not, can you remember any specific words that were definitely in the post?

Not about Google offering rewards. It was a blog post discussing the potential for small ($1) amounts being used to prioritize some feature requests or bug fixes.
Well, as I say, can you remember specific words? Did it use the word "bug" in the title? Or "cash"? Or "money"?

What do you really remember?

I recall the article itself mentioned WONTFIX status in a bug tracker. Not helpful enough I know. I already did a search for bug and cash and money on HN.
So that is in the article lunk to by the submission, or from a comment?
I do not remember any words of the title, and I didn't read any of the comments. It was one of the link submissions that was on the homepage one day recently.
Home page? Not the "New" page?

How recently? Can you remember what else you did that day? Can you remember what time of day you saw it? All these things can be used to find a short list of titles for you to skim read to see if you recognise it.

But I'm going to bed, so it won't be me. Good luck.

See if you can recall an exact phrase (even if short), and google for it (in quotes of course).

It's amazingly effective - provided you get the phrase right. It's quite easy to mis-recall, but for articles that strike me, there'll often be an arbitrary fragment that stays with me. It's even better if you happen to recall the end of one sentence and the start of the next - then, even two words can be enough.

BTW: I found this (but it hasn't been submitted here): http://www.librarything.com/topic/98543 It's an example of someone actually doing this. Here's another http://glovepie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=185&st...
