Look at how much you judge me because of who I am and how much information you have about me to judge me, and how little information you have about anonymous accounts.
Yet I've observed (correct me if I'm wrong) that you judge brand new accounts that criticize Codesmith - as take it with a grain of salt, who knows it is. Brand new accounts that promote Codesmith - they have to do this so they don't get DOX'd and criticzed.
You have every right to decide how you want to judge people and for what behaviors and traits you want. But you aren't making those judgements based on transparent information and might be getting manipulated as a result. You know I am me. You don't know that one of those new accounts that said they got a job after a rought job hunt and have no prior experience actually had 13 years of part time web developer experience on their resume (someone who self-doxed in their comment history). Which might not change anything for you, but might be relevant for other people's judgement frameworks that are different than yours.
In my judgement framework the 13 years of part time web developer experience contributed to this person getting a job and was not mentioned in the post and I therefore made a judgement call on that in my judgement framework.
The whole point of being transparent is people get to make their own judgement call on whatever they want, using better information.
