I've seen [a] on HN three times in the last week. Don't know if it's recency bias, Baader-Meinhof, a legitimate increase in common popularity/knowledge, or a sign of the times.

edit: after a quick algolia search, it has indeed been posted much more this year than years before.

It's been relevant recently due to the SolarWinds supply chain hack, too, since the implant was inserted into the build process, so I've been seeing it a lot more too. It wasn't used to infect a compiler, but still makes people think of Trusting Trust.
