I really could do without "considered harmful" titles. x86 has been one of the most influential technologies of all time and a clickbait title doesn't do it justice imo.

The currently prefered clickbait title on HN would be "x86 is the new goto"

I meant generic X is the new Y; "goto" was just a nod to Dijkstra's.

In other words, "is the new goto" is the new "considered harmful"?
