It's because it was released on my blog (Gitroom), so it's the same title. It fits mostly open-source companies :)

It's a blogpost about marketing not engineering, and the submission will no doubt be used in the future as an example of "growth hacking" (i.e Trending on HN is an achievement)
I think their point was that the title on HN and the blog was inaccurate based on the content of the post itself
Indeed. Seems like the title should be "how to run hackathons to get github activity".

And the "in 2024" part... A few ways this can be interpreted:

- How things are going to be different from prior years. First thing that came to mind... "AI tooling must feature a lot now?" Maybe this will be an article about what guidelines to have for use of ChatGPT? (or maybe that it's a non-issue)

- When it was written... seems to be what the author had in mind based on another comment.
