Personally, I like http://osrc.dfm.io simply because it provides way more detail and insight into the user. Just my opinion though, this is still pretty cool.

Also, I'm really flattered by osrc.dfm.io. According to http://osrc.dfm.io/jakob I'm a "high caliber Objective-C coder" in contrast to http://resume.github.io/?jakob calling me a "newbie github user".

It just displays one of the (positive sounding) adjectives next to the most used language in your profile:

Meh, pretty frustrating. All it shows is that I have no life. Wish I could hide my github profile. I don't care to impress employers with how nerdy or willingly to contribute I am.

The less they know from 3rd party, but me, the better!

Creeped out - it told me I should be friends with someone I follow & talk to regularly on Twitter, but we've never contributed to the same project. How did it know that?

Wow this one really knows how to spin a resume! "In particular, seems to be a pretty serious PHP expert."

I've made one commit to a PHP project about a year ago and it was a minor tweak!

"Lewis Ellington is a heavy hitting JavaScripter..." Hmm... I hate javascript and most of my code is in C#

C# (76%) JavaScript (7%)

Yup, it's pretty inaccurate. I think it's inaccurate to not "deface" people, or an act of nicety. Altough, seeing that someone is 24 coding all week, isn't a good sign of health too.

Both projects are awesome, I like the aesthetics, but my profile is seriously twisted :-P in both cases.

Now that is cool. Thanks for sharing.

methinks osrc.dfm.io doesn't actually look at what you contributed. In my report, it looks a lot at stuff that I starred but I never sent pull requests for.

Both awesome links. Thanks!
