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.

Don't classify someone as "untrustworthy" just because they have let you down once or twice before. Learn not to hold on to the past too much because it can hinder your ability to trust people in the future (see 'Warnings').
Ridiculous.
