Why is GitHub asking me for a login to view a public repo link? What is this LinkedIn now?

That's strange. I just tested in a private tab (Safari) and wasn't asked to log in. Hopefully this isn't some A/B testing fiendishness.

Fantastic comedic writing (and project, of course). It had me guffawing.

To add my own "most relatable" quote to this thread:

> As always, please save any important work before running anything I ever write.

:')

But really I just want to add to the cacophony of appreciation in this thread :)

0x0mer, I hope you feel the love from this reaction and can bask in that warm inner glow for years to come.

A while back, they started aggressively rate limiting non-logged-in users.

I rarely login, because I don’t want to be a supply chain attack vector, but I guess that’s bad for someone’s promotion metrics.

Anyway, don’t host documentation there, and if you do, put it on one big page. If I read two paragraphs, think, then read the next page and so on, it bans me after about 5 clicks.

Them A/B testing “make it all private” would disappoint me, but not surprise me.
