HN guidelines suggest that you should put the title of the page in the submission title, so there is nothing wrong with it from that standpoint. Take it out to the author of the article for not making a more descriptive title, if at all.
HN guidelines strongly encourage that for the sake of removing editorial from the submission, but adding something at least a little descriptive is good to keep people from wasting their time. This got traction because of the domain, not the title.

She's not responsible for HN guidelines or our interpretations of them. She's not obligated to give her individual blog entries a name at all (or to do anything else.) Should they then just be submitted as a date?
None of the above information is in the blogpost or HN post title, which is annoying.
