alt Hacker NewsGreat write-up.
Side note: interesting to see how many folks commenting did not get it being satire (even the title has LGTM). I guess it's time to rethink how sharp the HN folks truly are compared to the average non-tech person (not that I had any big assumptions myself).
I'm curious about this recipe for chevre :D

By this point I’m not sure why everyone isn’t in “default satire” mode.

Cognitive surrender evidencing itself en masse? :D

I read it and saw LGTM and URL and was like "probably satire" but could not rule out it being real until like 30% in.
It's like a modern version of Poe's law.

And immediately below the title are the tags "package-managers security satire ai"
HN has a big blind spot, in my opinion, around writing that isn't "purely technical". I've seen several cases of commenter complaining about "clickbait" for a blog post that I'd describe as "having a narrative hook and structure"
