It looks like he has a v2 build here:

His blog posts are oddly undated though. Not sure why anyone would decide to omit this.

Dates are there, just in a non-obvious place. They're at the bottom, just above his photo/bio. The article linked in the HN post is from July 21, 2015 and the one you linked is from May 9, 2016.

Because it's the smart thing to do. See http://doncrowther.com/blogging/blogpostdating, https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/content-m... or more in general https://www.google.com/search?q=don't+date+blog+posts .

While I can get behind some of the points made in the articles you reference, for tech articles the date provides very important context. Imaging the shift in your thinking if this article was 10 years old. Little in tech is timeless, especially hardware. Put the date, please.
