Why? It would be fair if he was trying to push a product, but here it's just a technical discussion.

  I am not claiming that he is pushing the product, just that his opinion can be biased, but then how would you want to push clearly technical product like Rust without technical discussion?

    I think a point you haven't considered when talking about bias is bias going the other direction. That is, if he were to mark his, technically oriented mind you, posts with information that he works on Rust it's possible that it will instill a bias among readers. Regardless of his association with Rust as a project he knows technical details and that's what's important in posts like this regardless of potential bias.

    If actually knowing what you're talking about is a harmful form of 'bias', pretty much any informed post on HN would need a disclaimer at the bottom. Then again, that'd make it easier to filter out all the uninformed/overly cynical/inflammatory posts!

    It's probably worth noting that a lack of affiliation would not imply a lack of bias.
