Ask HN: Could you help me find a not-so-old HN top story?

5 pointsby pil0ualmost 3 years ago
Some time in the past 60 days, I stumbled upon a top HN article which gave pieces of advice when you join a new company, which is currently my case. I thought I saved that article like hundreds before, but a few days later and after <i>a couple hours</i> of search in my bookmarks manager, my history and through HN Algolia search, I can&#x27;t find it anymore.<p>I can&#x27;t say much about the article for I haven&#x27;t read most of it. The title was not very explicit (no &quot;career&quot; keyword in it), but I know that the author mentioned &quot;the first 100 days&quot; in the introduction as a cliché not to follow.<p>Does anybody have any idea of what the article I am describing is?<p>I have no idea where I could ask for help except for here, so if there is any more appropriate place I&#x27;ll comply.<p>Thank you

Try this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?dateRange=all&amp;page=0&amp;prefix=true&amp;query=first%2090%20days%20-ask&amp;sort=byDate&amp;type=story" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?dateRange=all&amp;page=0&amp;prefix=true&amp;que...</a><p>There are several that match your description on the first few pages of results.<p>If you change the query to &quot;100 days&quot; then you get more, but &quot;90&quot; fit your description better.

Yes. I have had this problem several times. HN search is fairly useless in my experience. I don&#x27;t even try it anymore. As an experiment, take a couple of keywords from an article today and wait a couple of days and try searching for that article again.

Just tried a Google search with the site:news.ycombinator.com parameter and limited results to ones from the last year, no luck. Maybe this approach with another search engine and&#x2F;or better keywords could work?

Try looking at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;front" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;front</a> (it&#x27;s the past link in the heading)
