An always upto date Developer's CV
summary
Argues that a GitHub profile can act as an always‑current CV by generating a profile README from live sources and committing it automatically. Uses GitHub Actions to run an updater in a separate repo, written in Python + poetry with requests, pulling GitLab API, YouTube API and RSS feeds, filling a template and pushing daily. Claims roughly half of global hires check GitHub. The two‑repo workflow reliably updates the README; occasional failures occur when a self‑hosted Raspberry Pi runner is down.
