Aaron Bergman comments on Aaron Bergman’s Quick takes

[Aaron Bergman]

I went ahead and made an “Evergreen” tag as proposed in my quick take from a while back:

Meant to highlight that a relatively old post (perhaps 1 year or older?) still provides object level value to read i.e., above and beyond:

1. It’s value as a cultural or historical artifact above

2. The value of more recent work it influenced or inspired

cool, but I don’t think a year is right. I would have said 3 years.

[Aaron Bergman]

I think the proxy question is “after what period of time is it reasonable to assume that any work building or expanding on the post would have been published?” and my intuition here is about 1 year but would be interested in hearing others thoughts

[trevor1]

I think that the number of years depends on how fast EA is growing.

Hopefully people will be sparing in applying it to their own recent posts!

Eh I’m not actually sure how bad this would be. Of course it could be overdone, but a post’s author is its obvious best advocate, and a simple “I think this deserves more attention” vote doesn’t seem necessarily illegitimate to me
