fyi @dang doesn't actually flag dang. They've always advised emailing hn@ycombinator.com.

It's intentional. Imagine a blog post 'How I whizzed foobars to optimise my Home Assistant garbage collection' - it's unnecessary filler.

I agree it has times like this it doesn't work and makes the title worse though. The submitter can edit it, and this reformatting (and others) are not applied again.
