GitHub achievement badges seem a little juvenile and cringy and even if they successfully gamify GitHub, is that really a good thing? Are more commits and more issues necessarily a good thing? At best they draw focus to the wrong things, and at worst could become the basis of social-media style boastfulness.
- kzrdude 3y agoNope, it's really not a good thing. The github main page when you go there now is a "feed" page similar to other social media (twitter, facebook) that allows you to see stuff and tweak what the stream should show you. It's not a useful direction to go IMO. I don't want another feed/follow site.
