How many people here actually read the credits for a movie? I mean, I've worked on movies and I don't read the credits. Would anyone even read credits for software if they existed?

I guess if it's just a token of appreciation for employees and it only matters to them, sure. From the company's perspective, I don't see it being much of anything more than a poach list of their best employees though.

If individuals want public exposure, they should be allowed to write about their work for a company blog.

Huh, I tend to read them. At least in the sense of "I wonder if John Smith of production assistants #2 was the funny guy, or if Sarah on animation #12 helped make the second scene". And sometimes you get fun post credit scenes. But feels like a way to give a props to people I may never even meet.

Adobe products used to run the credits during application startup.
