There needs to be <i>one person</i> besides yourself who thinks your work is HN-worthy. If that person exists, they&#x27;ll post it to HN and you have no problem. If that person does not exist, then your work isn&#x27;t HN-worthy and you shouldn&#x27;t post it yourself. Instead of complaining about HN&#x27;s rules, find one person who will vouch for your stuff.
