Sure it seems like he is intentionally gaming HN, but I don't really see anything really bad in this case.

Sure, I guess the post about his initial observations on the Iphone SDK didn't say a lot, but I don't really think it was linkbait. I personally am not really interested in the Iphone SDK because I'm not doing any programming on the Iphone right now, and I probably won't start soon.

But he was interested enough in why the article did well to do some research and write an article he thought filled a need. I didn't realize that the Iphone was missing a basic tutorial, so if I wanted to start programming on the Iphone, I probably would have wasted some time looking for a good intro. Now I know where to find one.

So if he keeps writing informative and interesting articles like the Iphone programming introduction, I'll be happy. Even if he is writing the articles partially because he wants to figure out what will do well on HN.
