Real programmers are not anonymous

As esr so eloquently puts it in How To Become A Hacker^[1]:
The problem with screen names or handles deserves some amplification. Concealing your identity behind a handle is a juvenile and silly behavior characteristic of crackers, warez d00dz, and other lower life forms. Hackers don't do this; they're proud of what they do and want it associated with their real names. So if you have a handle, drop it. In the hacker culture it will only mark you as a loser.

So if you guys and girls want to get respect as programmers, you'd better use your real names from here on out.

Take following example:
1. a few years ago you asked idiotic questions on stakoverflow and posted antisemitic defamation on stormfront, about how google spies over it's users and Sergey Brin is a cocksucking kike - all using your real name.
2. now you're applying to google for a job.
3. interviewer will lookup your name, quickly finding that you're incompetent (asking questions on stakoverflow) and poses problem for company security, due to your hatred of Jewish CEOs and big corporations. Interviewer will also find that you write Lisp (antisocial language, only complete jerks and assholes use), which will be the last argument against employing you.
