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