The username <-> full name association might be private. One reason is that I would not want to explain to a clueless employer why the first result for my real name is an account in Hacker News.

- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoWhy do you think you would want to even apply to a job at a clueless employer with an affinity to ask stupid questions like that? Why wouldn’t you just walk away upon hearing such a question?
- heartbreak 4y agoThis is the second time I’ve seen you emphasize the “Hacker” in HN and imply that its association with you would cause problems with employers. Surely you can come up with a better example than that. Anyone who thinks HN is somehow related to criminal activity could be corrected by merely viewing the site once (or any number of third-party articles written about the site). Meanwhile you had your full CV linked on your pseudonymous website, Streisanded yourself, and are disparaging the HN community repeatedly in your comments.

Depends when they visit. I can see someone uninformed arriving on the days of heartbleed, meltdown, defcon, CCC, the equifax hack, etc., and incorrectly drawing the conclusion that is for the criminal kind of hacking.
