No I am afraid I missed it. It's probably me, but Perhaps these threads might be more widely read if there was say a link to a curated list on the FAQ page.
I think HN has gone from "we can expect everyone to pick it up" to needing a few more signposts. That's an interesting post but it passed by on my timezone / holiday / daily lack of caffeine hour.
Eventually we get the knowledge spread around, so it's no biggie. Just an idea.
Edit: of course you could improve the number of reads by changing the headline: "How Megan Fox taught herself Clojure in three weeks, launched a bitcoin healthcare startup that raised $4 million - all from her Apple Air"
Now, hell I would have read that. It's amazing what cat, pipe and the HN headline generator can do.
