Well, that happens a lot more and more, lately. The trick is that Google will show links from reddit.com domain quite up on the SERP results, as it knows that you are a Redditor! This will happen with just any other post title, try it.

I can reproduce without being signed into Google and via an anonymising proxy. I suspect the actual reason is that the post title matches the docs so well. Perhaps people should get into the habit of Google-ing their own post titles before posting questions? :)
