no joke I think the single most effective effort-to-result change that The Tech Internet could make for usability is to move the github readme above the github file list
@0xabad1dea I think this is one of those things where different classes of user want polar opposites. My suggestion would be that if you’re a contributor to repo, readme down bottom, you’re probably here for code. If you’re not, up top, you probably want some context.
@jon @0xabad1dea I mean I'd rather have the readme at the top of my own repos, which are almost exclusively solely used by me, because I have a bad habit of updating the project but not the readme and if it was more prominent I'd likely notice discrepancies
@jackeric @jon @0xabad1dea I always write my READMEs (for personal stuff) from the perspective of "other people are going to use this". As far as I know, this has *never* happened
