> title would be less vague as

True but that's too many characters for HN's title field. Which might be why it was submitted with editorialised version.

> /s/it/your cleverest code

massive nitpick but you should be suffixing rather than prefixing the regex with a slash:

    s/it/your cleverest code/
As I said, this is a massive nitpick; literally the only reason I pointed this out was because the submission was about debugging code and I liked the irony of debugging someone's posted about debugging code :)

(there is another law somewhere about people who nitpick are prone to making mistakes in their corrections thus getting nitpicked themselves -- I'm hoping I'm not exception hehe)
