Tell HN: '' in Vim moves cursor to recent line

Not to "recent line". To "line before latest jump".

This is in section 10 of chapter 3 of the :help user-manual. That's like… day 1 material. Not worthy of HN, IMO.

There is a manual? I thought vim was tough through verbal anecdotes from generation to generation

The bundled manual is really good.

    vim
    :help
    :only

Don't skip the intro text at the top. You need to know the key binds it describes to navigate the manual.

    Jump to subject: Control-]
    Jump back: Control-o

been using vim for 10 years, I didn't know this, and it's on the frontpage of HN, that would make it worthy, IMO

Maybe it's not too late to start learning it properly instead of relying on random posts.

I assure you, nobody makes it to chapter 3 of the manual on day 1. Not to mention that the manual is long enough that most people don't seriously read it (much like bash: Yes, the manpage documents it well, but there's too much material to expect everyone to go through it all)
