This article wasn’t done (and I’m still going to finish it, a “looking forward” section is missing)
I published it to get some feedback from the occasional reader, which I do more often. You can see I haven’t tweeted or posted it anywhere, I wanted to wait a couple of days still; so it’s a little unfortunate it got picked up here so soon. Of course I’m happy with the positive reception overall, but I agree that it’s not done yet.
On the part of self promotion within my own content: that’s just the way I’ve been doing it for years. I don’t feel guilty about mentioning other things I’ve made that I’m proud of and what I believe are high value as well. So on that part I don’t agree.
I do appreciate the overall feedback though, thanks for taking the time to share it
