Wait <a> tags work on HN? I thought it just auto-linkified?

The generated HTML on HN when you inspect the source is like so:

    <a href="https://listingbott.com" rel="nofollow">https://listingbott.com</a>
It is a nofollow link so not sure how much SEO juice you'd get out of it, but if I google Index Rusher right now, I get this HN post as the second link, where the first is the product's website itself.
