A comment on Ruby `reject!`. Parent comment

I remember coming across it before when the left-pad incident happened, and marvelling at the fact there were already many entries there then. The problem is now, whenever a new entry on this blog gets linked, I find myself compelled to go back and read all the entries in it again. I can't help thinking that over time, that process is going to become prohibitively slow.

It's probable that, as time goes on, the interestingness threshold for linking to a post on the blog will get higher, perhaps even exponentially.

This should be the highest voted comment on hackernews, or we're doing something wrong.
