Any advice on what to consider and how to tailor content for HN users? I've seen some advice before, but I just couldn't square these with the content I'm interested in, ie. following that advice would make the content into something I'm less interested in. Even if that worked, what would be the point?

From my experience - stories do better than explanations, things you can play with do better than text, slightly controversial things do better than plain, almost everyone is interested in a tech/business/novelty crossover. Some of this you can change without changing the topic itself. This is not even HN specific - just how to make writing interesting, which many authors don't. Then again, I'm a sample of 1, so don't listen to me :-)
