Of course, some people might choose to reply "Oh I see you worked on DigitalOcean! Funny people care about something like that, but given another human does, I'll respect that!" Some might chose to reply "I can do whatever I want, I don't really care what you think" - people can choose how they react. It's always very interesting to me who choses what, it's very telling regarding personality. I am well aware people are welcome to do as they please, nevertheless, the name of the company is "DigitalOcean" not "Digital Ocean".

Reading my response back now, I didn't mean to sound cynical or abrasive when I quoted 'helped build' from your profile.

I could have as easily said "I see you were involved in.." or whatever and that would not have sounded snarky.

Honestly though, I didn't think it through that much, I just literally quoted what I saw. Just in case you thought that was where I was coming from!

The replies to my comment generally simply serve to remind me of the quality of humans in this community, I'm certainly not sure why I waste my time contributing to it.
