He's right. Strengthening of real human presence against in the internet is a noble goal.
When I do/create something I find useful for others, I usually publish it on my website too.
I (and probably almost every other developer/tinkerer) benefited from the open-source and the wealth of information available on the Internet so much, that giving some small part back is only fair.
Recently, I started using Marginalia Search as a first choice when researching something technical. Surprisingly, almost always I find a real person writing about their experiences, not some content farm or corporate bland talk.
