That would be "welcome to the world of academia". My post-doc friends won't even read a blog post prior to checking author's resume. They are very dismissive every time they notice anything they consider sloppy etc.

Which is a problem with the reputation-based academic system itself ("publish or perish") and not individuals working in it.
