Title should contain the name of the thing.

People presenting their own work get a lot of leeway and there's nothing in this that approaches clickbait. Having to click on a thing to learn more about what it is is not in itself clickbait.


The name is the single more important fact about a thing. Omitting that is not acceptable in my opinion.


Sure but HN titles and especially HN titles of self-posts and Show HNs don't have that as a requirement for pretty straightforward reasons.


The name of the thing is "fp". What new information does that give you? What more information could you possibly jam into the post title?


Knowing whether you'd already seen the language, for one.
