Was about to suggest adding Kelsey Hightower to the title, as he's someone in the community many may already know of...then I look at the username! :D

Always enjoy his videos whenever I come across them, even if I'm not working on anything remotely related to the content. Waiting for whatever random tech surprise he throws in sometimes.

Posting a puff piece about yourself on a tech news site feels... something though.

Almost everyone you see who has a personal brand that is popular on the conference circuit is willing and able to do this kind of self promotion. It’s not for me, but I don’t see it as objectionable because I see it as part and parcel of the role, and I think the role is a valuable one that should continue to exist. Technologies benefit from having some well known and well liked “names” behind them, and it gives them the confidence to try something new instead of the old thing which moves the industry forward.

I got a bit fed up with the amount of 'I love Kelsey' tweets he shared today too. Felt a bit much.

Oh come on, he's just proud. It's a nice emotion!

Probably an imitator or clone. (:laughing:)
