My HN is PGP verified by keybase.io via my profile, and linked to most of my online identities ;). Unfortunately, I had some serious data corruption issues with a PW manager and lost my credentials. I "think" I can get my old account back but I don't have the password anymore. I would be happy to send along the info privately as I am about to read the other half tonight.
I also, wrote the post light heartedly which fits with my personality. "As you all know, I am an amazing individual and it is really difficult to measure the breadth of my greatness due to the vast amount of positive qualities and skills I have".
I wrote something like that and made some other jokes. This allows people to know you can take a joke, build up a bit of cockyness which people love to strike down, and also segue into the serious bits without too much fanfare. Also, I would bet that people are more likely to respond honestly via email because it is dehumanizing.
Feel free too email me at skg@samuel.engineer for the results. I haven't looked at all the responses yet as I had a lot going on today.
