Got it, I didn't understand you were talking about HN titles, rather than the blog post title.
I didn't submit it to HN so I can't comment on the title choice, other than say it at least reflects the literal title of the page which I guess would be the default when submitting.
I tend to outsource my comments to HN, since my blog is a github pages static site and introducing comments without tracking and ads is a pain, but I definitely don't choose my post titles to satisfy HN rules.
