I mostly agree with @PaulHoule... if you post some of your own stuff here and there, that's probably going to be fine. If you post nothing but your own stuff, and you post it all. the. freaking. time., then yeah, people are going to get annoyed and I wouldn't be surprised if you wind up shadow-banned or something.

HN has always had a culture of accepting a certain level of self-promotion, but on the other hand, HN is not your personal platform for pitching/espousing/proselytizing/whatever.

This is even noted in the guidelines.
