Waning: Meta

What's the process by which a stack overflow question hits HN?

How does the OP

1. Wander into this question

2. Decide it's worth sharing

3. Decide to post on HN specifically?

The post is a year old, but received a lot of views/tags/upvotes so a stackoverflow "top threads" reader might be reading these in his or her downtime.

As for me, I often explore related questions if their title is interesting. I also follow a few people who post very good answers because they're usually a joy to read.

And sometimes I stumble over things I didn't yet know and find interesting. I posted one such case here once.

But that's just me.
