Correct. The title was editorilized. And not enough with that, it's not even true that the guide has been updated, not for years according to the author himself in the currently top-voted comment.

So in a way this ended up to be perfect clickbait. But nobody seems to complain because despite not having been updated the guide seems to recall many fond memories by the commenters.

Highlighting users does not work on HN, I think the recommendation is to send an email.
