I am biased, but by my personal experience, not the desire to sell anything to anyone. I don't even have products for sale right now, I'm just building free things to try and help people figure out how to ride this wave safely.
The link in your bio is a long series of tools for various personas with a "schedule a consultation" link next to each one. I'm not sure what "consultation" is if not "a product". But maybe they're all free?
Please find a post where I've shilled anything that I charge money for. I explicitly don't mention that I do consulting here in the spirit of the community. I'm fine with being called out for a strongly pro-AI stance, but I would appreciate not having my patterns of frankness/honesty/community engagement called into question spuriously.
I do not think you are shilling anything at all - merely that you are biased and that bias is somewhat driven by a source of income that you link to your hacker news identity. If you were a Forth hacker with a Forth consultancy, the same thing would apply.
That said, I did not intend to call out your bias as a means of questioning your honesty and I apologize if my communication came across as doing so!
That you, in turn, do not immediately disclose your inevitable biases, makes me dubious of your motives. We all have biases. It’s important to be clear eyed and forthright
