In a similar vein, you also pretty well ;)


Thanks! Usually my own view of my writing is that it's hard to follow, robotic, or a bit scattered (much like my brain). But if you like reading it I'd definitely consider starting an anonymous blog of some kind! Feel free to ping me at chivalrousmowing@protonmail.com .


Out of curiosity, why the desire for anonymity - particularly if the subject matter is technical in nature?

I imagine it considerably harder (not impossible!) to convert anonymous blog posts into contracts/job leads, compared with something that has your name and work history attached.

Of course, I'm not ignoring the very real potential downsides and repercussions to writing online about politics, religion, drugs, etc - but based on your posting history here your interests would do plenty fine on a general purpose blog.


Hah! What an ironic mistake. Glad the message still got across


Idk, certain things that aren't inherently political could be perceived as such. I actually really like reading about economics, unfortunately in our current political climate - many would likely try to make grand assumptions of my politics / ethics based on how I think about economics.

If I'm ever able to transition to contracting or living off of my endeavors full time I'd write under my true name. Unfortunately, I'm still a white collar wage slave.


Fair enough. I absolutely agree that having a source of income not controlled by another legal entity is the ideal place to write from, and I look forward to being there myself someday.

Wishing you luck with writing in whatever form feels most comfortable!
