It's silly because most employers have no ability to match "0xffff2" or "pbhjpbhj" or "kixiQu". To a person in the real world.
I've never identified myself as an employee of my company on this account and I'm certainly not identifying myself as an employee of my company in this post, so since I don't work for the NSA, I post whatever I want, no disclaimer necessary.
If for some reason I did want to identify my employer sometimes, it would make infinitely more sense to make a separate account for those times than to attach a meaningless boilerplate disclaimer to every single post I make on Hackernews.
- kixiQu 6y agoOh you can definitely put together where I work in a few Googles. Not everyone cares equally about maintaining pseudonymity; the boilerplate isn't meaningless if your employer is explicitly requesting it as a CYA.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoI'm pretty confident I could be doxxed (email me if you like!), I don't really want to play the game of proper anonymity (throwaway on Tor-Browser over an sshuttle "tunnel" is about as far as I'd go but that would be getting pretty silly; hopefully it'll never happen, if it does I hope my disclaimer will be enough to argue unfair dismissal; who knows.
