Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for procedural world generation from simple tiles. A commenter points to its follow-up post on constrained tile placement as a refinement of the idea with a clearer explanation.

What Hacker News says?
Interesting. His follow up blog post The Constrained Tile Placement Algorithm behind Generate Worlds (2019) seems like a refinement of the idea, and I found its explanation to be clearer https://ijdykeman.github.io/procedural_generation/2019/11/08...
