"Sure — it’s self-serving. But it wouldn’t be the first self-serving post you’ve read on Medium, would it? " You're not kidding. All I do is write self-serving stories LOL. What an awesome presentation of your skills and the services you offer. Personally, I love self promotion and I do it consistently. I find a way to benefit the reader by what I'm sharing, but I have no problem with being self serving, regardless of what you're promoting, as long as you do it with class, honesty and integrity. I'm usually good for two out of three - sometimes substituting class for humor :-)
