What's your favorite HN post?

I like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23890036

Easily https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 and its comments

A bit meta perhaps, but dang’s long-form moderation style is always great, and this is a prime example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15374190

Did you win the Putnam?

Some recent ones I've bookmarked:

logfromblammo on code quality and professionalism: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23430173

hanoz on the best thing about buying a domain name: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23241917

megameter on the case for crime if you have bright mind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23217434

This thread on outsourcing is probably my most cited HN post (I'm frequently citing it to remind upper management why hiring an outside firm -- usually a friend or business acquaintance's outside firm -- isn't magically going to solve all our problems): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15831784

I recently cited this comment elsewhere as probably my favorite HN comment ever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10807897

Huh. logfromblammo again. Maybe I should subscribe to his newsletter.

Could you people please add the post title next to the link? I'm on mobile and it would be much nicer to go through the comments if I don't have to open a bunch of anonymous links just to see what they're about. Great idea for a thread though!

(Thread is from 2016; I first saw it much later.)

Larry Tesler has Died: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22361282

I had no idea who Larry was before I clicked on these comments, but the many stories from people who knew and worked with him. Obviously Larry was a brilliant guy who did great things, but the stories were pretty universally about what a fantastic person he was to work with. I think about that all the time with regards to how I interact with my coworkers.

For the latter, just open a user's profile and click on "favorites".
