What do you think of self-promotion on HN?
sirsean: I've tried it a few times. Submitted an article I thought would be interesting to people (along the lines of "check out this small program and talk about its virtues/problems"), especially compared to the steady stream of "I'm said ... this is why ... boo hoo" articles that had become prevalent.I'd say don't get discouraged when the articles you submit gets no upvotes and Google Analytics tells you that nobody even clicked the link. I wish I could follow that advice.But there's probably no problem with submitting your own stuff.
