This really rubs me the wrong way and I just revoked access to my Github account for Coderwall. You are adding content that appears to be added by me, but that I did not authorize you to add to my profile. Not cool.



They did not add any content whatsoever. facepalm

It's simply a mind trick to get a much higher percent of users to add their skills to their profile.


Do these defaults appear in the list of user's skills or not?


They do not. We've updated the UI to make that much more clear.


Are you guys serious? The article clearly says that these are merely suggested defaults.


Hmm, perhaps the visual treatment could be better as these are only suggestions and do not show up on your profile.


Parent appears to be a good-faith contribution to the discussion. Please do not downvote it just because you disagree.


I downvoted because the parent misread the article and as a consequence is taking a strong stand from a misinformed starting point. The discussion that results will not likely be very interesting.


same here, removed my account as well. Trying to be too cute.
