#3I agree, but is this really something that needs to be a blog post? You could have easily commented it on the HN post or sent the author an email. This brings to mind the recent discussions of negativity on HN.

#4I think it's a great suggestion, but TBH if your seven-figure hiring manager is making a snap decision based on a username and a single tool when she could look at your Github profile directly, I doubt the Github Resumé software is the "weakest link" in this decision-making process.

#5If you can't opt-out and a service "blames you" for something that went wrong, i think it deserves a little more than "a comment".

#6You should probably have raised an issue or debugged this; TBH I think this post is doing you more damage. Rather than fixing something, you moaned about it.

#8I think you're over-reacting a bit. Github Resume isn't an official Github service. Some guys created the account "resume" and are using that to generate resumes: https://github.com/resume
So, while the critique is certainly valid and this needs to be addressed, so I think "I never asked to have a github resume, and I can’t opt out" is a bit of a hyperbole (because Github isn't putting a "resume" button next to your account!)

#9Well you could have just posted this as a comment in the previous discussion. However, it does bring up the good question of how do you pass the blame around when something doesn't look right? You dont! No matter how many times you tested your algorithm, never assume it will catch a culprit with 100% accuracy and please don't make a program to accuse someone of something. It is embarrassing when you have a false positive and you accuse your paid customers of piracy or when a potential investor gets his email auto-returned accusing him of being a spammer.
