For those that don’t know me, Hayw1re is the in-game name that I play under. The name “Hayw1re” was inspired by the playstyle of my favorite Dota 2 professional gamer, Funn1k. In the past, I’ve played under many different aliases. Some of these names include Kuhero616, which was used during my semi-professional career as a top 10 ranked Warcraft III player, and floofydugong which was used during my casual college gaming days.
After quitting my job in Virginia and moving to California to attend Metis, I felt that it was fitting for me to transition away from my old names to a new one that I could identify with. Though a part of me may still be a bit “floofy” or “hero”-like, I can already feel that I am growing into something new and different.
This is me going Hayw1re.
While working on projects with classmates, people would see my GitHub handle and ask me what a Floofydugong is. Explaining to people the story behind my username was extremely difficult. The first half of the battle was explaining what “floofy” meant, and the second half of the battle was convincing to people that a dugong was a real animal.
That experience inspired me to write a blog post that details the usernames I’ve used and the stories behind them. So...
