I don’t know this user so I won’t make assumptions, but I can see how having “I’m a GitHub star [star emoji]” as the first sentence on the profile is probably doing him a disservice. It makes it seem like it’s the most impressive thing he’s achieved and diminishes everything else.

Also, I meant in the sense that you call someone “mister McSmug” and they reply almost angrily with “doctor McSmug”.

Thank you for the work you do and for how much you have contributed to people learning over the years. <3

In other words: it makes zero difference to me what you write in your bio but I can see how its previous wording took away from what’s important.

Apologies for making you feel judged, my comment was meant as the opposite: the point was precisely that “you do you”.
