swyx is on hn and legit great writer. He's influenced my thinking in many areas.

I've never seen his github account before but I expect that people following him there are doing so because of the content he's putting out. His blog has been on the HN Frontpage many times and has a book about developer career building.

My github account isn't as pimped out as his, but marketing yourself isn't toxic, it's smart.

Agreed that marketing yourself is not toxic. I follow "swyx" on Twitter and find his insight valuable, and so do a lot of my peers. Btw, looks like his Github profile has not been updated for some time - he's no longer Head of DX at Airbyte and is now an independent consultant. https://www.swyx.io/about

love and appreciate your work as well adam (everyone check out Corecursive https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... )

i honestly dont even view my github readme as "marketing yourself". most pple dont even go to an individual's profile in the first place, but if you do its kinda like a cute little myspace thing where you can let people know you as a human being and be a little quirky. i certainly dont hold myself out as an authority on writing the best software in the world and hey if 40k stars on the react-typescript stuff doesnt count i'm alright with that

appreciate it but also whoa this literally just happened and its freaky how up to date you are. consulting is temporary (check out https://www.trychroma.com/ if you are exploring LangChain/OpenAI apps and need an embeddings database) and i'm working on an ai infra startup idea on the side with a couple cofoudners.

Congrats! I'll be watching :)
