Jeez, why is this on the home page. This drives me crazy. Please, stop.

  I’ve been writing a lot lately, and I’ve gotten in the habit of submitting all of my blog posts to HN in order to get feedback and see what interests the people for whom I’m trying to write. It’s on the home page because enough people thought it was interesting that they upvoted it. If it drives you crazy, all you have to do to make it go away is refrain from upvoting.

    Could you please stop submitting everything you write, just because you can? If everyone would do that, it'd be terrible!

      There’s a huge difference between “everything I write” and “everything I write on that blog”, but I agree. The readers here have shown some interest in what I write, and for that reason alone I continue to submit it for your judgement. Hopefully my writing will inspire someone to make something cool, or change their teaching style, or design a better programming language. Besides, this is the best platform on which I can promote the work I’ve been doing lately, and I have nothing else to promote: most of the things I find online that are worthy of posting on HN are things that I found via HN. What else can I do but continue to throw links into the void and quietly ask that someone care?
