> On any given day, its top links might include a Medium post about technical hiring

Isn't it quite ironic to see the article suggesting that HN top link might include Medium post. I've usually read not-so-positive feedback about Medium posts. Isn't it the case?

Why not judge the post by the insightfulness of the content, rather than the domain from which it originates?

When you're looking at a page of 30 links, the signaling value of a domain is useful. Medium is a low-barrier place to publish, and has discovery built in, so it ends up attracting a lot of bad writing and promotional material. That, combined with the degraded reading experience, is why I am happy to judge a book by its cover in this case.

I've found the majority of content on medium.com to be so useless that I now run a plugin in my browser to block medium.com from my DDG results.
