And how exactly does this work for someone who is nearly homeless?

Oh that's brilliant, let's link a thread where OP details his personal struggles and shortcomings to his IRL identity.

Surely if the recruiters weren't all over him before, now they'll just be clamouring to hire him! Wow!

Or maybe he just kills himself because he's close to being homeless already and a few hundred assholes just told him that he's a hopeless, narcissistic, uneducated "creep"?

Snakedoctor, I think this whole thread says a lot more about Hacker News and its penchant for armchair psychology and condescension than it does about you and your future prospects.

There's a few helpful posts here... take what you can and go out and seize the day! I am routing for you.
