I don't really get why we need social media elements in GitHub at all

Yeah. I don't know if the 'follow' piece does anything useful for anyone.

But as a professional developer, I have found that my GitHub account now prevents me from getting asked FizzBuzz at interviews. So whichever bit is causing that nonsense to stop, I hope they keep.

I want to follow commits not tweets.

Who follows users on GitHub? Repos, branches, issues, PRs, sure. But users?

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

I follow TodePond because they have funny repos and star weird stuff.

I have 13 followers on GitHub. A few are friends from college, the rest I have absolutely no clue why.

Some people (like myself and other scientists/mathematicians), write software for specific fields so if you follow them you find it out what work they are putting out, and issues they find in other software etc.
