It may be a "growth hack" but it does seem like a decent way to prevent people from surreptitiously looking at others' information (even though it's all already public anyway).
- tadzik_ 5y agoIt advertises itself as "Great for all the tech-savy bosses who want to have a quick view of person's git/github activity, before the interview". I guess the tech-savy bosses are savy enough to run this locally with the "opt-in" check patched out.
- fullstackchris 5y agoI mean anything coming from GitHub is anyway public. (Except for private repos of course)
- JonChesterfield 5y agoProbably best to assume the private ones are public too
- saghm 5y agoHonestly, that sounds like another growth-hacking strategy; when someone uses it, they get a pat on the back for being "tech savvy"
- prepend 5y agoWhat’s the benefit from “surreptitiously” viewing people’s public information?
- pc86 5y agoI'm not imaginative enough to envision a nefarious scenario, but that doesn't mean none exist. Maybe just curiosity? The format does seem a bit nicer than the public profile at least.
