I think the point is that it seems like these days every time someone get's lucky with a couple SAAS / Apps they've released they've got to author a blog post how how they climbed the mountain. At some point the playbook seems more like self-promotion than it does anything else.

And that's fine, no one should be ashamed of their success. But it is also OK to point out what's going on and that's what the OP is doing.
