The blog post title is "Brendan@Intel.com." HN formatting ruined a little bit of the fun of the blog post. :)
- capableweb 5y agoToo late by now, but "Brendan Inside" would have been an excellent title!

- loudmax 5y agoIn the blog post, Brendan Gregg confirms that that is indeed his actual email address at Intel. That's actually an impressive recognition of Brendan's capabilities. I wonder how many engineers at Intel have a <firstname>@intel.com email address.

- saagarjha 5y agoDoes Intel not let you pick what username you want at the company?
- willk 5y agoNo, you get assigned something based on a convention. It used to be possible to get an alias for email.
- eminence32 5y agoAt my company (of about 22k people worldwide), your username is derived from the first and last letters in your name, and numbers appended to make it unique. VIP's don't get to pick their username as far as I know. Intel is large enough that I would guess that their default naming is also algorithmic, but apparently some VIPs like Brendan are able to get nice usernames.
- jedberg 5y agoAmazon assigns you an algorithmic name but you can request anything you want that isn't already taken. My friend got a three letter email addy within just the last couple of years.
