Unfortunately this is my throw away account. I speak my mind so I come off as a troll. I'll post the latest project I'm working under my real user id in a few months.
I'm kicking myself since this appears to be a good opportunity for some self promotion. Fuck Me.
Edit: This is making me realize that I should stop being an anonymous coward and put myself out there to try to make my projects and I known to the world. I'll make this my new year's resolution.
- iamskeptic 10y agoAnonymous Cowards are something from Slashdot, right? I don't think that applies here. I also have a few different accounts, while keeping my main account more 'professional'. I do it for a few reasons: the HN hive mentality hates dissenting opinions in general (doesn't matter how well written and based on facts), everything has to be super politically correct these days and the 'cultural fit' mantra could mean I would have a disadvantage getting a job (since many employers/startups will check your comment history to decide if you're a "fit", while simultaneously posting on their blog about diversity efforts). I'd say keep using your throwaway accounts. It's not the end of the world you didn't get to promote your side project in this thread.
- joe563323 10y agoJust curious. How do you manage switching b/w the accounts. Just plain logout and login ?
- user5994461 10y ago> throw away account [...] being an anonymous coward Well. In the current era of NSA and surveillance, it makes sense to make a new account for every message.
