Github resume blames you if it can't load your profile

I think you're over-reacting a bit. Github Resume isn't an official Github service. Some guys created the account "resume" and are using that to generate resumes: https://github.com/resume

So, while the critique is certainly valid and this needs to be addressed, so I think "I never asked to have a github resume, and I can’t opt out" is a bit of a hyperbole (because Github isn't putting a "resume" button next to your account!)

True enough, it's not about how 'legit' the service is though. At the end of the day the domain resume.github.com looks official enough, and it boils down to what url someone is handed, and what their personal preferences are. That's why I gave the example I did in my blog post (remember the imaginary hiring manager happens to prefer viewing via the github resume repo...)

How did they get the subdomain?

GitHub provides <username>.github.com to their users.
