People are quick to call other authors' work worthless. Patio11's piece you just read was very valuable to me, but it doesn't have a timestamp on it -- did you think it was worthless? Patio11 calls TechCrunch pink slime. He may find it worthless, but it's valuable to others.
The truth is just have an audience/subject in mind and cater towards that. Writing a technical article that depends on current state of technology? Put a timestamp on it. Writing evergreen advice about salary negotiation? No need to put a timestamp on it.
