I agree but calling that "github culture" is unfair. It's a culture that emerged independently from github and like I said those metrics on github should not be the target for criticism. I found them pretty useless but some metrics can be good in a team context. I don't think they are a major part of the problem, let alone part of the cause.

  • it all started when people blogged about their programming tricks way back, and hacker news should be part of the problem before github is. Github at least has functions other than a social hub.
