Motivation
GitHub is a website that helps developers store and keep track of their code. I like GitHub not only because it allows me to control my code, but it also helps me discover interesting libraries, projects, and cool developers.
There are over 56 million developers in GitHub. This means just by exploring GitHub, you can potentially find your software’s partners or your next employee. Why don’t we utilize this platform to find interesting people?
