I’m curious to hear more about why you are recommending putting it as a top level personal post- is it length, format, quality, a combination of these, or something else?
I notice that I have some reluctance to post “personal blog” items on the top level- even though I know that the affordance is there, I instinctively only want to post things that I feel belong as frontpage items as top-level posts. I also notice that I feel a little weird when I see other people’s personal posts as top-level posts here. I’m certainly not arguing that I have any problem with the way things are now, or arguing that this shouldn’t be a top-level post, I’m just putting my subconscious feelings into words.
As for how this post ended up in shortform, I originally started typing it into the shortform box, and I didn’t realize it would be this long until after I had already written a good chunk of it, and I just never decided to change it to a top-level post
This was neat, would appreciate it as a top-level post (albeit probably a personal blog one), although it also does seem fine as shortform.
I have now made this into a top-level post

I think if something might be want to be shared via a link putting it into a top-level post is valuable.
