The difference is those are presented as being fiction and this is being presented as a true story.

If this blog post were presented honestly, as a work of fiction, it would never have made it to the top of HN. Nobody would care. Because as fiction it's not interesting.

Sure, even though there are some works of fiction that begin "based on a true story" or something similar

For the record I do believe it's a true story, even if the details are fuzzy, or maybe some things have been forgotten by the person telling the story.

Who cares. I don't think the story is all that unlikely.

And to quote my late grandfather: There are no true or false stories, only good ones and bad ones.

Your grandfather sounds like a liar.
