#2How come there is nothing about Python dying in there!
Re: HN Spoof
#3Some background, since I helped write this and don't actually think this is a great thing to be on HN:
My friend Dave and I started the LinkedList a while ago as a weekly events newsletter for programmers in New York. After 70+ issues, we got burnt out on meetups (http://www.linkedlistnyc.org/archive/issue_075.html), and have been experimenting with other formats for the past few months.
We write the List exclusively for our own fun, and lately it's mostly been satire (e.g., http://www.linkedlistnyc.org/archive/issue_076.html)
Mods, feel free to delete the post if you see fit.

#5I actually clicked #30 out of curiosity.
Re: HN Spoof
#6Nothing about headlines that include blatant, "editorialized", personal opinions?

#8I know these kinds of things aren't the best for HN, but every once in a while, you gotta have some fun.
Great job, OP.
