Really? It's pretty opaque what the topic might be to begin with.

Yes. I dislike the title, and wish it was edited to give a better idea, but the story is good.

At least this story was written deliberately in a style that brought you in, even if you didn't know where you were going, and you were happy to come along for the ride.
OTOH there are quite a few articles in HN like "Update 2.1 on WhizBangBlahBlah" and I have to read half the article before I know what a WhizBangBlahBlah is and why I might want one. :/

As an alternative opinion, I try to minimize the amount of time I spend on both social media and news. I appreciate long form writing, but I'm no longer willing to invest in reading without the expectation of something of value learned or perspective gained. It's a shame, but my reading list is already too long and there are certainly worthwhile articles I can be sure my time is well spent.

What's the summary? Or at least what should be the lede?

I loved the part about his insistence on paying the bill, going so far as feigning illness to go pay the cashier. I've got drawn up in these bill paying fights, but that's next level.
