You assume that people can magically decide when their stuff appears on HN.

The poster works for CoreOS...not so magical.

Again, you assume that only CoreOS got to decide when to post it. There was nothing stopping you or anyone else from posting it.

Still, if you think that getting on HN is the highest level of PR mastery, I have a hello_world.go-to-io.js transpiler to sell you.

I'm not sure you know how HN works. Just posting isn't enough, you need your colleagues to upvote it if you want the front page. Unless it's super interesting.

It's not difficult to get on the front page but it has massive PR implications however. My previous startup is living proof of that.

And this isn't the first time Docker announce something on HN and CoreOS follow straight up with something else. That's why I was wondering.
