Well, there is one way to be relevant   in programming circles,
which is often condensed to -- "show your code or GTFO".

Ruby language recently lost a prodigal programmer. See _why's euology here [1]
The programmer Guy Decoux was mostly  known by his famous shell prompt
pigeon% and
`ts`, the prefix he used for his functions.

His code was his communication. Of course, this is an ideal worth striving to :)

Names do not matter, however identities still do.
In the absence of an established identity, people will be weary about you.
Your real name or an already established nick elsewhere  is a good start.

Good call. I thought so too about it on my way to work.
I will stick to what I know. Art, not much :)
