Personally, I like http://osrc.dfm.io simply because it provides way more detail and insight into the user. Just my opinion though, this is still pretty cool.

Meh, pretty frustrating. All it shows is that I have no life. Wish I could hide my github profile. I don't care to impress employers with how nerdy or willingly to contribute I am.

The less they know from 3rd party, but me, the better!

"Lewis Ellington is a heavy hitting JavaScripter..." Hmm... I hate javascript and most of my code is in C# C# (76%) JavaScript (7%)

Yup, it's pretty inaccurate. I think it's inaccurate to not "deface" people, or an act of nicety. Altough, seeing that someone is 24 coding all week, isn't a good sign of health too.

Alright, this website basically turns https://github.com/mojombo into http://resume.github.io/?mojombo , which is uglier than the original and doesn't even add anything new. How did this get 22 points in 50 minutes and is #1 now?

I wish HN was more about real hacking. Black-, Gray- or Whitehat. The highest upvoted things aren't startup's but privacy related posted (ie. NSA) and HTML5/CSS3 experiments... Not to say, I don't see gem's in here, but most are more interested in webdesign stuff.

> As a software startup owner I really enjoy when people send us their résumés and they include their github account so we can see tangible work they have done. I sometimes feel very insecure when I read statements like this. I consider myself a good and a passionate programmer with "above-average programming skills", if there is such a thing. However, I have (so far) never been able to manage contributing to open so…

Don't fall for that bullshit. Most of the best engineers I know don't have a github/bitbucket/sourceforge/you-name-it account, which doesn't prevent them from being awesome.

Both projects are awesome, I like the aesthetics, but my profile is seriously twisted :-P in both cases.
