This is actually a nice feature that goes along with one of the common use cases. Since there are alternate git options I don't mind having things like this.

I think a lot of us use it as a professional portfolio. The interface is a little wierd (e.g. the github account networkx already has a networkx repo with extremely obvious reason), but overall I've wanted something similar. But omfg please don't be like fb and add a dating feature

I figure their next step is going to be adding features similar to LinkedIn.

Slowly? Isn't this a common use case?

I've had interviews where they required my GitHub profile so we could discuss one of my projects in depth.

Sigh, I hope not.

Now to get a job or keep being employed I need to grind leetcode for months, actively participate in top open source projects on GitHub, know the latest trends, and be a systems designs guru.

Now that I'm starting a family, I'm worried I won't be able to keep up as I've done so far.

I sometimes envy people that can disconnect from their 9-5, take a break every week, go on regular vacations, relax at the pool.

If they make it so that you have to 'unfold' it to see at least as an option, then I think it's a fine thing to add.

You can easily share your favorite repos you made or projects you contribute to in there and in a way 'guide' new users to explore more of your work.

It’s a nice feature you can choose to use if you want. I’ve often been asked about projects on my gh account, and it’s good to have this tools alongside a static website tool like Jekyll

Hmm, it's only visible to people who are logged in.

GitHub to merge with LinkedIn

Microsoft already owns both so why not

Just change the banner
