Like the old person I am, I still don’t like people retweeting praise about their own content. It not only feels like bragging, it’s also extremely boring

I don't mind so much. As an independent consultant, I do it because nobody else will ... plus my income fell by 75%+ in the past year, so everything helps. Also, not everybody sits on Twitter all day, so only a small number of people will see it anyway. YMMV of course.

Other people mentioning you is great, of course, maybe they’ll turn into followers. But people who follow you already don’t need much convincing anymore, do they? I prefer to stick to likes and occasional replies.

This surprises me every time it happens, and has really changed my view of how people use Twitter ... but I regularly have (often long time!) followers asking me what the C4 model is, or what my tooling recommendations are, etc.

By all means, link to that content! And in any case, of course YMMV and I’m just a curmudgeon and possibly can be ignored safely ;)
