Maybe it's because that's not where our customers are? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I write most of our posts in ~1 hour and hot dog, here we are on HN and you're reading it. :)

Unless you're in the business of generating blog post views or HN comments the fact that people are discussing it here is irrelevant. Those things are vanity metrics. They don't matter to your business. Your post could get 10,000 upvotes and a million comments, but if you don't get a sale from all that extra "brand awareness" you've still wasted an hour of your time.
The person who wrote the article though has an ego and people reading, reacting, responding to the article all feed the ego. Vanity metrics are the only reason we do things after the base instincts
Side note - getting on HN and "you read the thing" aren't markers of high quality.
I'm assuming these 1-hour blog posts do move their metrics in a meaningful way and the HN thing was just banter.
Also, the term "quality" is highly dependant on context. I wouldn't compare it to "The New Yorker," but rather other similar companies' blog posts.
