Submitter and author here: My friend Dave and I made this over a decade ago, and I just stumbled on it again. I found it to be a fun walk down memory lane, and more broadly, an interesting time capsule of HN's culture and tropes.
Thanks for making this. I saw it back then and thought it hit the nail on the head. It still does -- if you hadn't put (2012) readers would think it was made today.
"Twitter is down (2010)" is just perfect.

It was awesome! I think it misses just two things: "Coder's Generalizations on Software Architecture/Careers in Tech", or "Venture Investor's Generalizations on Society".
Oh, forgot: "Another Very Long New Yorker Article Philosophizing on Their Local Stuff"

Wait, a time capsule? The parody article titles all basically showed up over the last week on the serious HN.
Wait. This was made over a decade ago? I thought all the posts were relevant today.
