Title is actually "39 Shirts - Leaving Mozilla".

Has something to do with HN title debaiting or something IIRC.



Hi, I posted this with the title "39 Shirts - Leaving Mozilla", but it got truncated to "Shirts - Leaving Mozilla" for whatever reason. I could not exactly go back and edit it.

It seems a hn mod edited the title. Thank for that!


That is what I said : Number prefixes in titles are automagically removed. Indeed it seems a mod removed the 'Shirts' later.

What's in the photo at the top of the post?


A bunch of Mozilla merch, 39(?) t-shirts and a Firefox stuffed animal.


To be fair, the server was suffering, it's possible the images or the post did not load for the poster.


At large company gatherings for big tech companies some people get given shirts/hoodies/bottles/etc.


What do you think about "37 Signals" ?
