You can stop reading after the picture, which happens to be at the top. Why doesn't every programmer have a great GitHub profile? The same reason not every mother of 3 children looks like a fitness instructor. Priorities. You write C++ all day at a bank, can't use any open source, and your mind is filled with the intractable legacy issues, politics, etc. Maybe you're married and your spouse wants to go salsa dancing on Tuesdays. Should you prioritize throwing some Ruby into GitHub? If you want to work for a startup, yes, you should. If you don't care, don't bother.
