I was thinking about creating 100 fake github accounts to fork/follow my projects to get a badge ;) j/k
I too believe this kind of "gamification" is a nice addon. It's optional - hell it's even outside of the system. If I don't want to use it I don't have to. The bad kind of gamification is the one that is forced upon you.
- jrockway 15y agoI was thinking about creating 100 fake github accounts to fork/follow my projects to get a badge ;) You don't need to do that: you can force any real account to watch your project by adding them as a committer.
- redthrowaway 15y agoI doubt that would go over well with your unwitting followers.
