Your username should pass the "search engine" test as well

That is, calling yourself a too short or generic name might have been a brag 20 years ago, but now it's just an annoyance



Failing the search engine test is a feature, not a bug.


Parent commenter probably would use the word antifeature for it


I like how their usernames reflect their positions on usernames


Hear hear!


Absolutely, but you gotta remember my man. Some of us made our account on GitHub 14 years ago and named them after our Quake 2 handle from 1997


however, taking your name from an Atari Teenage Riot song is forever braggable


;) Glad someone noticed it (or googled it, which to be fair is becoming even more commendable with time)


an ATR demo CD was the very first CD of mine ever stolen, my punk rock friends were blown away
