seems like an ok and relevant time to plug your own project IMO. If not now, during the moment its use case is happening, then when?

- mrunkel 7y agoI believe the complaint was about the disingenuous denial of the plug.
- NickBusey 7y agoHow was it disingenuous? It is not a 'plug' it is a very relevant link. Being disingenuous would be to say "Hey guys, don't mean to plug my website, but here's my basket weaving blog."
- kristofferR 7y agoI'm not gonna reply to you, but I really disagree with what you're saying and this is my response as to why.
- homonculus1 7y agoWho. Cares. It's a colloquial usage of the phrase "not to". The clear meaning is that the writer acknowledges a potential negative perception, as a show of good faith, but still believes there's a valid reason to continue.
- cerebellum42 7y agoIt's a definition thing. In my opinion it's still a plug even if it's relevant (and that's how some other people seem to read the word too here). So just come right out with it instead of doing the "hey not to plug my website but let me just plug my website" thing
- celticmusic 7y agowho cares, it's useful at this time.
- keithnz 7y agoI don't think it was disingenuous, I read it more like... "normally I wouldn't randomly plug my website, but given the context, I think this thing I built might be super useful to someone".
