Replace Twitter with Hacker News and we have this entire thread. Your original comment on the article is equivalent to:

> Hell, even writing and posting this comment is stupid.
Upside, nobody sees it, those that do dont care or you get some juicy internet upvotes. Downside, your employer who you commented on sees it.
