Ask HN: Should we change the way we do software interviews? What's stopping us?

Isn't this obvious blog traffic generation against HN guidelines? I'm flagging it.

Just because it’s a link to a blog? That’s the whole point of HN to like to blogs and other content. Which guideline is it breaking?

That was never "the whole point" of Ask HN posts. The standard is, and had been for years, to just post your question in the submission. That being said - I don't see anything in the guidelines addressing that.

I tried to paste all the content in but it exceeds 2000 characters, I thought providing my experience might help generate more discussion.

Does it make more sense to paste the link into the body of the text and just ask the question?

No and why do you think the current system is good?

I did not make any comment regarding the "goodness" of "the current system"

I can move this to pastebin? Is that better?
