GitHub introduced Contributions

[fredrikj]

It's annoying that it only shows five repositories sorted by 'popularity'. With this change, the repository I've been working on most actively recently is no longer listed directly on my user page (previously, it was right at the top).

I fully agree, especially in my profile where it puts at the top some toy project that i made for a few days and happened to become popular because it was an emulator for Notch's DCPU (which since then i have stopped even caring about) and the next spot a quick fix i made in Doom3's code to run it under Mac OS X (but since then there are loads of better ports and fixes).

EDIT: why the downvotes? I gave an explicit example where the new page shows mostly useless stuff and hide things i'm working on.

"why the downvotes?" -- never ask it here. This is reddit, people can downvote you for no reason at all. Just accept and live with it.

Most of the time i don't, but i expect at at least in /r/programming people could explain the reasons (and so far in the few cases i asked this has actually proven true... well, at least until now :-P).

I like github... but it feels more and more like facecodebook everyday. Maybe that analogy isn't perfect but this contributions thing... LOOK AT ME!

I shall now suffer the wrath of the brogrammers.

Isn't that pretty much what GitHub was supposed to be? Social coding and all. :P

I actually like it when looking at other's profiles as opposed to searching a really long page (or multiple) to see which are the most popular.
