I always used a pseudonym and even change it from time to time. But if I want to have a job in software development, what choice is there? If you can't rely on past experience you have to build something from the ground up.

I feel forced to have something on the net that screams "me".

I'm unimportant. But who knows what the future brings? I don't want to feel like _why. And to be honest, the whole archiving is beyond annoying. Barely anything we write is relevant in 10 years. Archive.org saves 99.999999% stuff that will not be looked at or even be of relevance, but might be enough to discredit you or even find you. Why does the internet even need to be this way? For me the internet was always about the present and the future.
