You're not wrong, but did this really require a throwaway account?

Because throwaway accounts are usually made by people who want to share something personal and don't want it tied to their public/internet/work persona. So it made me think you work for a FAANG where everyone has to pretend they love React/Angular/etc, and you didn't want to catch any flak for it.

If you click on someone's name, it will show you their profile, and you can see that you are not talking to a throwaway account, even if the word is in their username.
