Just in time for Netlify to discontinue support for private GitHub repositories for free plans. Good thing cloudflare still has free Cloudflare pages support for private GitHub pages.

I have projects lovingly maintained for a decade (and responding to genuine issues with bug fixes within days) that have under five stars. Not a good metric.
I still strongly suspect that you have more stars than any "competitive" OSS projects in the niche (if any even exist), which is all I'm using the stars as a heuristic for (initial sort).
Fair point.
What do they mean by “now generally available”? AFAIK, private profiles were available before also.

They may become mandatory signals used for finding jobs? Thin line of thought maybe, but I honestly don’t mind the features I’m just trying to give a talking point to rally around.
It's infuriating that people don't make themselves easily reachable on GitHub. So many people with so much talent, wasting it on some really meaningless stuff.
Maybe I'm deviating from the general consensus here, but to me the social-network-isms in GitHub are an anti-pattern in business and undesired in such a highly useful utility service.
Do you have an actual complaint here, or just buzzwords? Calling something an “anti-pattern” or “undesired” doesn’t mean anything. Your comment contains no substance that couldn’t have been conveyed by saying “I hate it”. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. That’s what I do. Is there an actual reason that the mere existence of social networking features is harmful to those of us who choose not to bother with them?
For example, thanks to the norms fostered on GitHub, you can no longer expect the average programmer to file good bug reports or to just interact in an appropriate way with the bugtracker.
We can't really talk about "wikis", either, without confusion about what a wiki even is—again, thanks to GitHub.

Personally, I found gitlab has been quite nice for many years now and I've had free private profiles there since I signed up. It's a great service

In the future children will argue over who inherits their parent's Hacker News karma. To avoid legal complications be sure to specify in your will which favorite child inherits your Hacker News legacy.
Will there be an inheritance tax on HN karma?

Do you have a link to where they've said that, that really sucks, I've had a much smoother experience setting up pages with Netlify than Cloudflare.
The only related thing I found was that free accounts are limited to one user that can trigger deploys in private repos, while anyone can trigger deploys in public repos (assuming I understood the announcement correctly).
