pre-chain: collecting is preservation
post-chain: collecting is communication

being pseudonymous has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

it's allowed my ideas to be received based on merit alone.

no bias from how i look, where i went to school, what companies i've worked for, etc. i wouldn't have "ex-apple" in my bio, unfortunately.

i'm just a lowly designer on the internet.

and maybe i'm overestimating it, but i don't think i would have as much twitter success without it.

or maybe i'm wrong. maybe it's made people cynical of me and had the opposite effect.

all i know is that it's given me the psychological safety to think and share. highly recommend.
