I wonder what some of the considerations are for posting something like this under an alias v.s. attaching one's real name to a post. Obviously, one most likely wouldn't attach a real name to this kind of writing while one is working at the relevant company, but are there any other factors one might consider, aside from criticizing a current employer? Specifically, are there any possible concerns with being labelled a "problem case" and being blackballed in the tech industry as a whole?

Is the author's credibility hurt significantly by choosing to use a pseudonym, or is the power of the message not greatly impinged?

I have a huge amount of respect for anybody that has the courage to write about these kind of experiences, regardless of if a pseudonym is used or not.
