You'd think at least a hacker website would refrain from using random as a synonym of "stuff I found".

Except it's "stuff I queried", which is pretty random. Or at least not predictable before being tried, which is nearly as good.

Besides, geeks like to shrink things. I wouldn't have been surprised if it used "rand(YC application videos)", to save a character.

Please tell me more about how this bothers you.
You have a very narrow definition of hackers.
