Sometimes it's people who feel like posting oldies/perennials/classics, and sometimes it's people running across a thing for the first time.
We've had to learn not to crack down on these too heavily because there's always an up-and-coming cohort of new users who've never seen them before, and HN should be a place to run across them. Once a year seems to be an acceptable maximum rate (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

Many of us recall with great fondness the first time we read about 12 factor apps. In particular, those of us that had been working on systems like this, but hadn’t codified it with explicit guidelines. It just made sense. The pleasantness of things just working consistently from scratch on a brand new server. Replacing the concept of pet servers with cattle. It’s all related.
I’m sure every time this makes the front page it reaches at least one fresh pair of eyes.

Is HN a search engine for xkcd?
Honestly people, do you have them indexed somewhere?
I'm amazed by your ability to find the appropriate xkcd whenever it's needed. Me, I'd have to spend at least half an hour on Google trying to find it, and then give up or see that someone else already posted it.
I love this community.

Some xkcd comics are classics - my gotos are the one about ISO dates (https://xkcd.com/1179/) and password strength (https://xkcd.com/936/). Both of these were found by search Google 'xkcd (dates|passwords)', and having them be the first result.
Explain XKCD is great if you know roughly what topic was covered by a comic, but can't quite find the URL. https://www.explainxkcd.com/

From a historical standpoint I would think it is interesting to someone who may have come into the profession in the last decade to know more about why the practises we today take for granted and as obvious came about.

It’s a kind of quirky humor that resonates well with a technical audience. I haven’t personally memorized any numbers, but I do know the “Ballmer peak” and “competing standards” XKCDs pop up a lot in casual conversations with my own peer groups.

I love those, but the only one I remember is https://xkcd.com/927/
It's always pleasant to see them pop up in conversations.
