The year can help for sure - is the article's content still relevant and current in your mind?

On one hand SQL, is the most established relational db. Not sure what might drastically change about.

Python and Javascript are from the 90’s and have evolved as a language in their own way like SQL and others.

I was asking about the year as an individual comment here to understand what significance the year relative to the content of the topic it bore.





It's a HN convention for all posts: If it wasn't from within the past year or so, the year it was posted gets added to the title.

Having to think about it per-topic is just making it more complicated for no good reason. Especially since SQL does get new additions.

People posts comments like that as a reminder because the title originally didn't have it in there, someone edited it in after the comment.
