Why HN links it
HN commenters link this post as the source of a trick for filtering recruiter spam: putting an emoji in your first name filters out auto-generated InMail that greets people with "Hi {emoji}".

What Hacker News says?
Instead of an initial, I'd recommend putting an emoji in the first name. (And putting your last name as your full name). I've been able to filter out most "InMail/auto" when they say something along the lines of "Hi {emoji}." I learned of it here: https://www.glennstovall.com/the-wolf-test/
