I think it shows how addicting it is. People wouldn't feel the need to broadcast if it wasn't an addiction.

I respect trying to get more time out of your day (RescueTime helps). But it seems here Matt has found an issue (TSA backlash) that is helping him go cold turkey. Since it is public resignation, it may help him regain some of his productive time.

If noone knows you quit, you can come back on Monday with no consequence.
