Why do similar articles or headlines seem to come up at the same time on front page? e.g. there is another article on Rails that happens to be front page right now that is seemingly otherwise unrelated (the other article is called The Rails Cheat Sheet).
I’ve noticed this too sometimes and I think it’s like a “meta” conversation on HN. It happens pretty often and I think people see an article about X, which reminds them of some other good article about X, and then they both end up on the front page because “hey we’re talking about X today!”
