Hacker News Reader

It's hard to take you take seriously. His blog has a generic "read more" footer and that's a demerit worth mentioning? What do serious people in your world that write blogs do? Not want people to read their other content? In what world do you live in that writers (serious or not) don't want you to read their other work?

It's not a generic footer, it's their reply directly to their tweet about the incident.

I agree with the person you are replying to, writing a tweet like :

"How I misused AI and caused an outage"

and replying to this very tweet saying

"Here's a blog where I write insights about AI"

Obviously do not make me want to read the blog.

Some people seem think that self promotion is wrong and work should stand on its own merits. I don’t think this way. It’s important to think about engaging and attracting eyes to your ideas. If you don’t why bother sharing them?

Self promotion being wrong has never met reverse psychology. Ego hacking is a thing.
