What time is it again? 14:51 HKT? Frist time ever meet this.
Also, I reached here from the actual article page, which I reached by clicking on the "newer article link" of the article published on 2014-10-20.
This is kind of an epic WTF of the site.

The other article contained an apostrophe in the title and crashed the Front Page. See 500 Internal Error when Editing and Saving Unpublished Article with Apostrophe in title on the Front Page issue tracker.

Sadly, your choice is ugly: Spend hundreds of hours to rewrite and correct the stupid design...or build stupid workaround for stupid design in two hours. Sadly, the winners are the people who do the latter, since they are more productive.
...and bosses love productivity. (Boss: "Why can't you be more productive, like George here? Here, George, have another banana.")
It's not that bosses hate doing things the right way. They'll tell you every day that everything should be done the right way. But the rewards all go to George...and he will become your system architect.
There's a reason why slapdash programmers and horrible designs don't get weeded out...but are instead perpetuated.

Look in the mirror. It's part of everyone forced to use Discourse.
