I knew someone would say this. lol If you're away from your computer and haven't installed the password manager to your phone (I'm not nearly alone in this), then you may need to fall back to searching your emails. Better?
Anyway, this doesn't solve the other technical problems you may hit at some point using this trick.
I'm just giving people a heads up. It's a useful tool for certain things, but it can be overused.
I used this trick for years. However, there are downsides.
For example, sometimes a service will let you sign up with this just fine, but later when you need to do something else (such as password reset) or a phone agent has to enter it... it chokes.
Not to mention after some time passes you may forget what the special bit was and have to fall back to searching your email. Being regimented about the naming system helps, but it's not foolproof.
I'm using this trick less and less nowadays and just entering my plain email to avoid these hassles... especially for things like real life accounts. For possibly shady characters and account email consolidation, still a great trick!
I'm what you would call a Full Stack developer. I consider myself a software engineer, period. I can adapt to anything you can throw at me given the time. If you're looking for a Senior Level engineer, I'm your guy. (interested in junior or senior roles though)
I also have tons of marketing and product experience. Last quarter I took a script from TamperMonkey level to a polished and released product. I also created a separate licensing API for Gumroad that includes product level trial periods and Install Key creation beyond what Gumroad provides by default. This Chrome extension is now gaining new users everyday and growing organically, including some revenue, on its own.
Here's a short list of my tech set with approximate first touch dates and my own self assessment rating on a scale of 1 to 10.
I'm on board to learn or improve upon whatever you need and will do so in short order... Rails, React, Angular, Ember, Vue, and so on.
Specialties: APIs, Data Analytics, Product Development, QA, Server Management (Sysadmin), SQL, Troubleshooting, Video Related Tech
Résumé/CV: Upon contact I can point you to my main project from 2009 to 2016. I built this project, a Social Analytics site, from scratch and grew it to Billions of MySQL rows and Terabytes of data. I can also point you to the aforementioned product's sales page. Skype screen share to show you under the hood is also doable.

I also have tons of marketing and product experience. In the last 4 weeks I took a script from TamperMonkey level to a polished and released product. (already made some sales) In the last week I created a separate licensing API for Gumroad which the product is now using that includes product level trial periods and Install Key creation beyond what Gumroad provides by default.

Caveat: Just to set expectations, I can't agree to wide ranging IP ownership clauses. I have some interest in various products and have to be able to maintain them without ceding rights. I am perfectly happy to agree to focused IP ownership clauses. (ie you offer red widgets, I can't own red widget related IP)
