@rrhoover You have a famous blog post about never changing your profile picture. Any updated thoughts?

Ha! Yes, I'm still holding out with the same pic I took as a 22-year-old. I have no plans to change, it even though I'm much older now.

In hindsight it might have been preferred to go with an illustration that's unique and recognizable. Examples: @nikitabier, @naval (although he's flipped between a few versions of this sketch), and @dwr.eth (you!).

i dabble with ai using open identity data from crypto https://alexpaden.tech

Unique name can help! But most people are more visual and the profile pic is first viewed before the username (I think).

isn’t that invalidated by an interesting name? for example roon is easily memorable

working on meta.matcha.xyz, yc alum, @orangedao

yea on here the personal branding stakes are lower / it's more fun and i think having a short handle helps a lot in my case. on twitter though for example i've been sticking with the same pfp for the last several months

@six you have the exact opposite of the article lmao, change pfp every few weeks and currently mt fuji which is the most impersonable you could go but somehow it works because of the regocnizable handle?

You're the reason why I haven't changed my profile pic on Twitter/X!

What do you think of mine? 

Is it a good one?
