alt Hacker NewsWell, I link to my blog post(s) and/or github source(s) quite often.
"Why does he do that?" has a fairly charitable interpretation, if you choose to answer it that way.
In fact, here you go, I wrote about it and will quote myself...
From my "about" page https://www.evalapply.org/about.html
> Learn generously directs what I teach, speak, organise, code.
and the first blog post I published:
In the beginning, was the domain name https://www.evalapply.org/posts/hello-world/index.html#main

May I suggest the mantra "Take what is useful, discard the rest."?
I don't necessarily disagree, but to me the idea of self promotion like this is fascinating because it's not something I personally feel comfortable doing. Even if I know I'm only sharing a link because I genuinely think it would be useful, I would worry that in doing so there is an underlying self-serving reason. Idk.
I'm horrible at sales, selling myself, etc. Even if I believe that a product is genuinely useful, the act of selling feels like it undermines everything else.
Do not be like me if you want to make money lol
