The actual title is "The 2021 Software Developer Shortage Is Coming", which is what I had initially submitted, but it looks like HN automatically trims off "The" and the current year?

its very common to tag a year to the end as well, such as :

Software Developer Shortage Is Coming[2021]

That's really only used for old articles to give context and is not considered to be part of the title.

its a tag for the date and its a way of keeping the date in the title
