Since you want to grow your personal brand, I'd rather you use Medium. It will make it easier for us to filter out your blog just by looking at the URL.

#12Certainly Personal Blog!
You can always cross post on Medium and other such services. Just got to remember include the canonical URL.
That way you get the advantage of being searched on services like Medium, Dev.to and others (although, I don't think this is much since most search via Google). And you get the advantage of owning the content and your own personal brand.

#13Why not both? Write on your own and import it on medium. In this way you will increase your outreach.
