Interesting. This linkbait* article has 3 points and is frontpaged. The next-lowest-score frontpage article at the moment is 14pts.

* The second paragraph contradicts the headline: "The goal ‘learn how to code’ is a waste of your time. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud anyone that wants to learn something new. "

Ranking is in part based on the time since the submission was made fwiw.
