Should you start all of your statements with a list of every project you've ever worked on? Show me an example of how it's done before you make such an exceptional request of me.

For any who are more curious about a commenters' background than their current words, my profile already links to copious resources on my work history, & writings, beyond what's typical of contributors here.

Yes, if I was commenting on a project or company that I had self-interest in (eg: reputational, monetary, etc) then I would add a disclaimer like everyone else here does.

If you're writing messaging systems and working on cryptocurrency you can figure out Algolia: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

You didn't need me to do that.

"Everyone else here" does not do that. Disclosures are spotty, & chiefly in relation to current-employment. And many agree links-in-bio are a sufficient & appropriate way to disclose affiliations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27209830

My "self-interest" in the Archive is exactly the agreement-with-its-mission that is self-evident by my strong opinions. The post words themselves are a stronger disclosure-of-interest than any extra mention of previous employment would be.

And further, all sorts of extensive details of my projects & work history – and not just with respect to the current topic! – are described a couple clicks away.

Have you disclosed anything about your "reputational, monetary, etc" "self-interest", here or on any other topic? Show me how you do it, inquistor. Or, do you somehow manage to only ever comment on things in which you have no personal interest, nor related professional involvements?

Note that I fully support your right not to declare such things.

It's just rich to criticize someone like myself – with neither hidden opinions nor a hidden work history – from your perch of obfuscation.
