A researcher shares his biggest life lesson: for years he believed good work speaks for itself, but without marketing it goes unnoticed. He did cool things early on yet remained unknown because he never learned to market them.
In a follow-up clarification he stresses he doesn't care about the quoted author or their model — his point is simply that you should be loud about your work even if it has limitations.
