For those wondering, he was laid off from Shopify (quick search on LinkedIn revealed, not mentioned in article)

He clearly didn't want to mention it, so why 'out' him?

I'm not sure he clearly didn't want to mention it - he didn't state he didn't mention it on purpose. I'm sure many people wondered, and going on LinkedIn is trivial. Had it not been on LinkedIn I wouldn't have looked further. If he didn't want to be outed, he could take Shopify off of Linkedin.

You could also comment the same on the 3 other comments that "out" him: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42839195, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42843755, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42842682
