864 finds + 64 reviews assigned 1-3 topics each from the new 18-topic controlled vocabulary (src/lib/topics.ts, lands in the next site commit). The retired gifts topic becomes a giftable tag on the 140 finds that carried it; 5 finds legitimately match no topic. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZaczDJjL3xZ3u5spsN5AL

Is This Tech Dead? runs a straight-faced, invented metric called "Deaditude" across hundreds of languages, frameworks, and tools, complete with citations and a searchable, sortable UI that treats the whole exercise like peer-reviewed research. The joke lands because the format never winks at you.
