I don't think so. Stories like this are driven to top by sheer amount of freshers from India who probably recently started using HN or also are starting with their careers. The timing of this post overlaps with India's monday morning. If you see at other times this post will never go to top.
I wonder if HN should categorise stories region wise to resolve this.
Yeah, this is rather strange. I mean, it's vaguely interesting, but contains so little information and so few details it really doesn't seem front-page worthy, let alone worthy of the #1 spot. I thought about flagging it, but it's not like it's against the FAQ. And I don't have a downvote button for submissions.
If this were a solid introduction to how debugging works in Go and VSCode, or how to use delve, that would be a different story.
I'm like, 95 percent sure some bot or network exists that promotes the word 'go.'
I've seen not only way too many 'go the game', a rather obscure game, get to the top, as well as random headlines of uninteresting stories containing the word 'go.' I've seen completely random/uninteresting things shoot to the top, then slowly die as they should have.
I've been here long enough to realize trends, and that's one nobody will talk me out of.
And notice now...this story is gone from the front page. How did it get there again?
