#
[fluffy] Oh man I forget when I started my blog but it’s definitely coming up on 20 years as well
#
[fluffy] Longer than 20 years if you also count when I was doing a “developer diary” on my graphics research
#
[fluffy] Looks like I started my self-hosted blog on January 22, 2003. And before that I was blogging on kuro5hin.org, but I forget when they launched their “diaries” section.
#
[fluffy] The earliest archive.org capture of my kuro5hin blog shows entries going back to August 12, 2001 but it also has a ‘more entries’ link and I have no idea how much further it goes.

Loqi [snarfed] hackermention: Universal webmention backfeed for Hacker News.
#
[snarfed] I suspect this will be an unpleasant surprise to at least one webmention recipient. looking forward to that conversation!
#
sknebel [snarfed]: do you grab stats? would be curious e.g. about percentage of urls that have an endpoint etc
#
[tantek] thanks jamietanna. I'm in meetings all day these next couple of days but hopefully I will have time to reflect and write something. I can't even remember when I blogged a bloggiversary last

#
[tantek] I love looking back at old HN comment threads on my old posts. Always a fascinating peek into perspectives
#
[tantek] A pattern I have noticed, if you want support on HN, blog a "hot take" that critiques something that is "trendy" or recently "popular" among web developers that actually doesn’t make sense from a practical standpoint.
#
[tantek] HN commenters love when someone makes a cogent case against some cargo-culting behavior
#
[tantek] and it spurs various supporters of the trendiness to jump in defensively which causes even more commenters to pile-on the critiques
#
sknebel you can do the same thing by posting a hot take against something that is useful and practical though
#
sknebel or at least there is a pretty good chance of that working :D
#
[snarfed] first confirmed hackermention hit: https://webmention.io/simonwillison.net/webmention/PUmBiPXdfM1j0G94Qtp6 . will post again when I see one that's displayed on the post
