Ask HN: Is a blog post containing code show-HN-worthy?

1 pointmbork_pl4 comments

I blog (mainly about Emacs, sometimes about JS, PostgreSQL and other things) weekly. Sometimes (like today) I have some actual, runnable, useful code (even if very short). Is it ok to post a blog post with such code as "Show HN"?

There's a guidelines page for "Show HN" submissions, https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, and it says that blog posts generally should be normal submissions instead of Show HN"s.

I've read it, but it also said that code submissions are kosher, hence my question.

No, but it would be fine as a normal submission.

Thanks.
