Pin repositories to your GitHub profile

I don't know how I feel about these past few changes. Github is trying to compete more and more with LinkedIn. My user page is now becoming a resume, complete with summary and carefully chosen projects. Where does this end?

Adding a short bio section + link curation =/= becoming the bloated mess of spam, useless business drivel and shotgun-style recruiter messages that LinkedIn is.

Exactly, I want more power for my programming projects, most of which are open source. Github is moving slowly into business, which is basically opposite the reason that people started using it.

I didn't start using Github to have a neat resume to hand out to companies, I started using it because it allows me to collaborate in open source projects in an easy way without much overhead. And I've loved doing projects for fun there.

I just hope it doesn't become Linkedin, as I recently closed my account there.
