Posting unpopular opinions and getting minus-voted on a forum like HN could have an impact on your career path. Anyone smart enough would curate.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoMy posting history here should reveal that I'm a Christian, I'm married, I have kids, I'll disagree with people on either side when I think they're wrong, and occasionally I can be a bit of a jerk. Oh, and I don't get FP. If any of that has an impact on my career path, well, if they're going to go through my HN posts hard enough to find some reason to not hire me, it's probably a place I don't want to work anyway.
- krapp 8y agoI suspect the vast majority of downvoted comments on HN are not so controversial that they would significantly affect anyone's employability. If you're self-aware enough to want to 'curate' your identity here for potential employers, you should already have an alt account for your controversial statements.
