GitHub is now slowly turning into a Portfolio Website
- nikivi 6y agoIf they make it so that you have to 'unfold' it to see at least as an option, then I think it's a fine thing to add. You can easily share your favorite repos you made or projects you contribute to in there and in a way 'guide' new users to explore more of your work.
- klyrs 6y agoI think a lot of us use it as a professional portfolio. The interface is a little wierd (e.g. the github account networkx already has a networkx repo with extremely obvious reason), but overall I've wanted something similar. But omfg please don't be like fb and add a dating feature
- sieabahlpark 6y agoI figure their next step is going to be adding features similar to LinkedIn.

- michaelbrave 6y agoThis is actually a nice feature that goes along with one of the common use cases. Since there are alternate git options I don't mind having things like this.
- dpbriggs 6y agoSlowly? Isn't this a common use case? I've had interviews where they required my GitHub profile so we could discuss one of my projects in depth.
- cocoa19 6y agoSigh, I hope not. Now to get a job or keep being employed I need to grind leetcode for months, actively participate in top open source projects on GitHub, know the latest trends, and be a systems designs guru. Now that I'm starting a family, I'm worried I won't be able to keep up as I've done so far. I sometimes envy people that can disconnect from their 9-5, take a break every week, go on regular vacations, relax at the pool.

- jpindar 6y agoHmm, it's only visible to people who are logged in.
- t0mmel 6y agoIt’s a nice feature you can choose to use if you want. I’ve often been asked about projects on my gh account, and it’s good to have this tools alongside a static website tool like Jekyll
