There exists a non-negligible rift between "supposed to" and "actually does".

You could make the argument that HN would be more interested in the code as opposed to the blog talking about it...

Which is odd because starting from the blog you get the author's take on it AND a link to the code. It's not like you just get one or the other. I would think HN would (should?) be more interested in the whole story and not just a link to a codebase whenever possible.

In my experience the stories upvoted on a weekend or holiday are more lighthearted than on a week day.
