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

1 points by mbork_pl 3y ago ↗ HN

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"?

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

Thanks.

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.
