Hacker News automatically removes the word "How" from the beginning of submissions (and then Title Cases them for good measure) - so I believe submitting that title would instead result in this:

    I'm Helping My High School Peers Learn About CPUs
I might be wrong though, it might only do this with "How to ...".


Good to hear I'm not the only one who finds that form of title unpalatable. IMO one of the most annoying headline trends of the clickbait era.


'How to' is one of the title forms that isn't modified, currently.


I submitted https://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/6/annotated-presentations... the other day - title "How I make annotated presentations" - and it was automatically re-titled to "I Make Annotated Presentations" - but then renamed back again, I presume by a moderator.
