I make most of my open-source contributions quasi anonymously, and don't want attribution. Does that make me the odd one?

- dpkirchner 3y agoNo -- that's my preference as well. However, I could be considered a "late-career" developer that wouldn't benefit much from credit for small patches.
- guggle 3y agoThat's what I do too. At the end of the day, all I want is for my patch to be included so I don't have the problem anymore. I code for a living and I don't have to sell myself to recruiters in my field. But I fully understand why one would want to be credited, and that's just fair.
- finnthehuman 3y agoNah, I do that too. I’m a “backstage” kind of guy, including literal backstages. For example, the only video of mine ever put on YouTube isn’t on my account, someone asked if they could post it. It got 10k views, I feel like that’s pretty good just for a little messing around, but I’m still glad it’s not tied to me.
