The stuff about dealing with journalists is pure bs... As soon as they find out that your project isn't funded by big VC, they ghost you. The role of the modern tech journalist isn't to bring attention to new/interesting technologies, they're an extension to the PR arm of big VCs. I've seen a tech journalist in the software development niche being reprimanded (they shut down their blog) shortly after they wrote an article covering one of my open source projects. In the closing article they said something like "I made a few bad decisions..." - It was crystal clear to me what they meant and I suspect they were covering too many indie projects.
