I used shameless plug more as a means to imply I am associated with the project. The phrase probably roots from the general tendency of hackers to feel ashamed

I used shameless plug more as a means to imply I am associated with the project. The phrase probably roots from the general tendency of hackers to feel ashamed of promoting their own work?

The phrase doesn't come from hackers--everyone uses it.

Yeah, hackers use it more than some because they're a bit more ashamed. The community makes you feel that way sometimes though - I don't think you have any reason to. Thanks for sharing!
