Did this used to be called Giteso? Did it just get renamed to Tree.io or it a completely different product? I'm only asking because the bottom of http://tree.io/en/jobs mentions it. :)

I agree with you, but I don't think you should consider the act of using multiple identities itself to be lying. Or at least, calling it that seems harsh. Do actors lie when they use stage names? Are authors lying when they publish und
