They now added achievements 5 days ago. I have an achievement for having "opened pull requests that have been merged". It really is becoming a social network.

Wasn't that the whole idea? “GitHub: Social Coding”.

Yea i'm honestly perplexed by everyone on this subject. This has always been on the tin. Big font, right there, for everyone.

It also just happened to be the slick(read nice ux) tool.. so i guess many just pretended it wasn't a social network?

The name is literally "GitHub", not "GitAlone" .

What's bad about that exactly? I like the badge actually. Looks nice and warm.

It's just... noise? I assume the average github user is a developer and has closed dozens of PRs in his life.

It's cool to see someone's code is on the mars rover or in the artic storage. I can't care about achievements like "yolo" "galaxy brain" and "pull shark". I don't understand what information that conveys on a code collaboration platform.
