I remember the day I joined HN in March 2009. The entire front page was full of Erlang articles. Like, almost every single one. I didn’t know it at the time, but apparently that was part of an intentional effort to scare away newcomers who weren’t “hackery” enough.

I thought to myself, if these people are really this crazy about Erlang, maybe there’s something to this website after all and created an account. I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed when it turned out that it was all a ruse!
