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

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

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.
