Edit: Thank you for all the comments! I have now switched back to not allowing anonymous commenting. Also, I'm tracking IP addresses again for future comments, but IPs for comments on this post still won't be exposed to me. I can't disable comments on this post without hiding all the existing comments, so I won't, but I don't need any more for now :) Here's why I did this experiment.

I'm doing an experiment (and will reveal why after I've gotten some data). I've temporarily enabled anonymous commenting for this post (actually my entire journal since you can't do it post-by-post, shhh) and I'm temporarily not tracking IP addresses (eventually I will turn that back on, but Dreamwidth won't show me the IP addresses for comments posted in the interim). Anonymous comments will be screened, and as usual, I'll unscreen them unless you say "Don't unscreen this".

With that said: tell me what you like about me, or what you think is good about me. One or two sentences is okay; if you want to say more, that's okay too. It would help if you could be as precise as possible, but don't obsess too much. Just say what you would say if somebody called you up and said they're checking my background, and to just say whatever comes to mind about me. You have the choice of commenting as yourself, or anonymously.

I'm not intending for this to be a meme, but feel free to make it one. I didn't come up with the idea, though.

I've never met you in person. Having said that, here's what I've gathered from the last ten years of online interactions, mostly in a programming language context:

- High intelligence.
- Strong compassion.
- Enormous curiosity and eagerness to acquire knowledge and understanding, where understanding is more important than knowledge.
- Low tolerance for bullshit, and the ability to cut through the bullshit and get right to the heart of the matter.
- High idealism, now tempered by a hard-won jadedness acquired over the time that I've known you. I consider that a good thing, because frustrated idealism in an intelligent person inevitably produces a clever sense of humour.
- A drive to get useful things done, which is far better for the world than a drive to get things done in general.
