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.

I've got to get in on that racket. I see it all the time in onionland, hitman ads, $20k in , half now, half later. Are people really that  stupid that they think they can find a hitman on the internet working that cheap? That is nowhere near reflective of the risk he is taking. Only dumb nigger gangsters would work that cheap because they are too stupid to do simple cost/benefit analysis. You basically take their $10k and walk away. What are they going to do? Go tell the court that their contact killer failed to deliver?
