This post isn't very impartial.

That's like saying, anything published in the New Yorker can only be focussed on things that happen in New York

[minimaxir]

If the New Yorker said that New York City is the best city in the United States unironically, then yes, that would be bad.

But it does contain useful advice

[minimaxir]

Not really. All of the advice is very generic without any causal links between winning or losing a hackathon. It's mostly an advertisement for Rails and upsell for the service.

Additionally, it appears that someone is rigging the votes to this HN submission.
