Technical blog posts without a date should be illegal

But how will I drive traffic to my evergreen course funnel with publication dates all over my articles?

The FA actually doesn't do this, but a lot of things (including those that do very well on HN) do for exactly this reason.

Using the current date for the article /s

There must be a browser plugin that offers the date a website was first indexed.

That’s a brilliant idea, if someone else hasn’t already implemented it

I seem to recall a (non-technical) blog getting called out for basically generating a random date within the past month or so for a lot of its content, but that might just be a false memory.
