I don't understand this. The articles about _why sometimes were a little weird [analyzing him] but there were enough people in HN interested in it and _why was one of the greatest hackers in the ruby world.
The last time there was a deluge of erlang articles, it was to scare away a new wave of newbies. In this case the erlang articles are pushing out legitimate articles and very few of the erlang articles have any real discussion going on. I don't think, the tactic of erlang article flooding was appropriate this time.
Appropriate... no. But it has made its point. One article about _why was welcome. Two... maybe. But the rest should have been comments to the first thread, not submissions.
Yeah I understand the reasoning behind it. But, for me personally, I would rather we didn't cover one subject spam with another.
Or if we do let's at least change the topic each time so we can all learn about something new instead of just reading love stories about Erlang every couple weeks.
