Similar to what I'm doing with https://wonderful.dev (example dev profile: https://wonderful.dev/alan) where profiles can't be edited, devs can only connect their GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. and we fill in the profile for them with real data. No more fake Linkedin skills.
This difference here is wonderful.dev adds points to skills based on repo stars. We take a dev's contributions to a repo, times that repo's stars, then assign those points to the repo's languages on the dev's profile. It's a proxy for impact by language.
It's already flagged me as a tech influencer because I mostly make PRs to existing projects, which doesn't seem to be pulled into the AI summary.
I love the concept though. Banning people from writing their own profiles makes it feel more objective/accurate even when it's not.
One problem with this is my day job work (99.9% of my experience) isn't publicly posted and wouldn't be captured in the profile. The nature of my personal projects are significantly different than my job and result in different technologies being used to better fit the use case. Also, most of my personal projects are private and would be left out.
I guess this is just one more thing I feel is a barrier to equitable evaluation and hiring practices.
When connecting GitHub, it asks you to select the repos you want wonderful.dev to see. You can select private repos there too.
