Isn't that article about you?

  pretty sure hn user timaz != reddit user timaz. I'd bet hn user timaz is the author of the blog post ("Brianna Wu"). I don't really care about the provenance of the work; it's a well-written article on tech in China. If it's a team of a western engineer and a local Chinese person (who happens to be far more attractive/better presenter, probably), I'm fine with that.

    I'm not the owner of that blog. I'm ok with the article being presented better, but I do think profiting off it bears ill-will. One of my favourite benefits of the internet is the ability to hide yourself. Pretending to be someone else more attractive and making up a story crosses the line for me.

      It's just branding and packaging. If people like buying stuff from a pretty female face, it's not the engineer's sin to satisfy the bias of the customer.

        That's a huge problem with the tech community. It's novel to see someone who looks like that with those skills and that gets the views.

  It's not, I've just decided to use this name here as it was free
