I disagree.
It fits in with Patrick's article yesterday, about all of the false beliefs programmers have regarding names. One of those was that "names don't change," and I'd argue that one of the reasons most of us hold this belief is because most of us don't change our names.
If it was a cultural norm in the US that men regularly changed their names, I'm sure that the situation the post describes would not be occurring.
- mukyu 16y agoGoogle does let you change your name. Google does not require that your email address is your name. If you used company_name@gmail.com and try to rebrand yourself Google is suddenly anti-corporate by this logic. If only Google were mainly made up of people that had been employed by companies before this would have never happened.
