Github compromised

In my point of view, "uploading some code where others can see it, use it, fork it etc" is not enough to be "social". If you want others to use your code, you'd better be ready to accept feedback (not necessarily in the form of pull requests) and participate in discussions. I don't think anyone have invented better media for that than plain old mailing list.

"social coding" does not make me cringe - what seems odd is that people tend to substitute activities on github (or any other "social" site) for real actual social coding (or life).
