And it makes me so unhappy to see them polluting my commit logs. I won't work with people on open source and run their code on my computer unless I know who they are. Getting recruiter spam is a good problem to have.

- vvillena 5y agoRelying on the commit log email for checking someone's identity is probably a really bad idea. Public-key signed commits are the better tool for that.
- blueflow 5y agoIn a world where activists launch shitstorms against you on twitter if they don't like something you do or say, there much reason to never go public with your real name. Its not even about what you do, worse, its what they believe you did. And this is a factor you cannot possibly control.
- skinnymuch 5y agoCan you give some examples of this happening to “nobodies” in the sense of [internet] fame or clout? Also not if the media riled things up too. I’m sure this stuff happens but I’m not around the places people keep saying this happens (usually Twitter). I’ve only seen examples of people who were internet famous or some other reasons that wouldn’t overlap with a casual GitHub user.
