The appetite HN has for this kind of naked self-promotion is really something. Get posted (even if by someone else) a few too many times to /g/ and you'll be regularly rebuked with "buy an ad" from then on, but HN just looks the other way, and the "haters" calling it out get flagged, at least until the pattern becomes conspicuous and obnoxious enough that even the more gullible lot of HNers start to notice.

Well, I link to my blog post(s) and/or github source(s) quite often.

"Why does he do that?" has a fairly charitable interpretation, if you choose to answer it that way.

From my "about" page https://www.evalapply.org/about.html

and the first blog post I published:

In the beginning, was the domain name https://www.evalapply.org/posts/hello-world/index.html#main

May I suggest the mantra "Take what is useful, discard the rest."?
