      Identity management and security.

      So this username is DevDave but hilariously there are about five (down from seven) different David’s fighting over this handle. It’s hilarious because as soon as one of us signs up with this handle to a new service, we send a friend invite to the others as a not to subtle “First!” with both middle fingers. Yes it does narrow things down from ~8 billion to five, but since we are all in tech and are interweaving its hard to know who is actually who and it creates an interesting level of chaos. Otherwise this my random bullshit account and I don’t type anything here I wouldn’t say out loud in public.

      The others are more isolated/specific due to reasons.

        That makes sense. I kind of just assume everyone can find out my identity if they try hard enough. So my infosec is as if I’m speaking to a stranger on a nearby train. They could probably follow me home but I don’t give them a reason to and I don’t say anything incriminating.
