Not sure why anyone would post a blog about the fact that someone is going to use less link-bait titles in future under a link-bait title to hacker news.
This is one of the many situations in which the preference for article titles as headlines on HN doesn't work well. Other situations are when I need some context about why I should care (like who is saying the thing in the title), when the title is really boring or obvious by itself, or when the title has only the vaguest relationship to the content.
