You were hired to report to Pete Bannon? So, that is some other person? And your (user+)name is also Peter Bannon?
- PeterBannon 5y agoThis is my throwaway Hacker News account named after the relevant director at Tesla: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterbannon https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterbannon I'm sorry you found this so confusing.
- hirundo 5y agoIt's not just confusing but unethical. The confusion serves to put words in another person's mouth. It is a kind of impersonation. Please retire this account.
- PeterBannon 5y agoWell, as I said, it's a throwaway account, i.e., created for a single comment tree. I won't be using it again (because it's a throwaway account) but not because I want to protect Peter Bannon. Also, I disagree that it's unethical. Obviously you can't infer who's talking simply from the name of a Hacker News account. For example, if my account name was ElonMusk123, it would be naive to assume I was Elon Musk.
