I remember seeing a retweet in my stream a couple months ago where somebody made the suggestion of not dating blog posts so as to make them seem less ephemeral. I think the logic went that if the writing isn&#x27;t tied to a single moment in time, then it&#x27;ll become timeless.<p>It&#x27;s one of the more irrational and idiotic suggestions I&#x27;ve ever come across. One of, if not _the_ most important piece of metadata for anything that has or will ever exist is its creation date. In particular for writing, putting it in a historical context usually makes the piece more powerful and increases your understanding of the subject. If it&#x27;s bad writing then it&#x27;s not going to have a chance anyway. Sorry to say but that may be true of the post in question. I was under the impression that due to poor Python 3 adoption, Python 2.7 would continue to be supported.<p>I second OP, please date your blog posts.
