I don't want to be tempted to use my posts here or elsewhere to try to make money or gain social credibility. I don't particularly want to know who else is posting either. I am not trying to monetize my internet presence, best to stay pseudonymous if not anonymous.
Interesting! Sounds like we have different dispositions. For me, making money is a much more conscientious endeavor. (It’s spending that is automatic.) I think my main motivations here on HN are to learn and to inform — although maybe I’m just saying that to further my personal brand ;)
i love the content and the interactions on HN, but I also love the fact that I enjoy distance from the tech world per se. best keep it that way. I can't smile my way to greatness, I know my limitations.
