Repeat the title 3 times in the first 3 lines then again as the start of the next paragraph.

Fill the rest of the article assuming this is the readers first day on planet earth. Like, an article about a CPU architecture should start with the early history of mathematics.

An obvious attempt to insert a link into my own vibe-coded project, in the pretense it is either relevant or related.

A scathing review of the project in one or two sentences. With no help or improvements to offer.

A comment making a subtle point about something discussed in the middle of the article that languishes near the bottom of the page because nobody read the full article.

A link to the HN discussion from when this was already posted here 6 months ago, possibly to be helpful, but also possibly as an attempt to admonish others for not knowing this is a repost.

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

A related comment to mention the perceived good performance of the website and how the web would be much better if such simple and performant designs were more prevalent.

A second paragraph vaguely taking aim at every common framework and library used and why they're all the real fundamental problem.

I guess I am too honest to go down the click-bait title stuff. I would love to get more traffic too my web site, but not this way. I prefer to write up interesting hardware of software projects, but i'm in the middle of writing another sci-fi epic and there are only so many projects you can juggle :-)

A complaint asking what this has to do with hackers or hacking.

A mildly annoyed reply quoting the Hacker News Guidelines to point out that:

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.
