Is this a joke (as in, that you don't actually work there) to make CF look bad for posting product advertisements in comment threads, or is this legit?

It's one of my first times posting on HN, thought this could be relevant helpful info for someone. Thanks for pointing out that it sounds salesy, rereading my comment I see it too now.

People who are proud of the work they do are rare enough that we shouldn't punish them for it.
