That was actually funny.
....but does it count as a hack??
Probably counts more as reinforcement of a slightly unwanted meme.
I wonder if it actually worked. I personally feel like not coming back for a few days to let all this Erlang stuff go away. Not that it wasn't interesting. I've never heard of Erlang before.
Can I ask us all to consider how we could possibly think this was "news"? I get that it's "funny", in a "reddit" sort of way. But we all knew what happened already; this is in fact the Nth story about the Erlang debacle --- not about Erlang, but about the meta-story about Erlang on HN --- in the last 18 hours. Can we stop the solipsism now?
The HN Erlang fiasco was the highlight of my day.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a you-should-ride-your-bike-more thing.
