How to end up with 500k commits in your log
This is a good opportunity for me to ask something I&#x27;ve been wondering for a while about what is appropriate to put on a blog tied to your real identity.<p>The majority of this article could be seen as negative toward the author&#x27;s former employer. The website is also listed on the author&#x27;s CV, and knowing the author&#x27;s name it is easy to find the website. Is there the possibility that this is seen as unprofessional, or that someone who was involved might read it and be upset? Maybe it is okay because the company is defunct (I assume), or because it was so long ago?<p>I ask because I am early in my career and I just finished a job where the majority of the things I learned were non-technical in nature. I would like to write about the lessons learned but, like this article, it would have some component of criticism about the company. Like the author, my website is on my resume and the website can be found by searching online for my name. Someone reading my resume could figure out what company I&#x27;m talking about, and some people who work there might find it. I don&#x27;t live in a large tech hub in the US so it&#x27;s very likely a future potential employer knows some people personally that I might have criticized vaguely (but due to process of elimination from the jobs listed on my resume wouldn&#x27;t be hard to identify).<p>The advice I&#x27;ve been given from people I know is to either not have a website tied to your identity at all, or be as professional as possible if it is tied to your identity.<p>What do you think? If you knew this author, or it you stumbled across this article because you are thinking of hiring the author, how would you feel?
