This is already more popular than I thought, the queue of profile requests (and AWS SQS) contains already more than 10 users, at this point any new user user coming will have the sensation that nothing happens when they want to get a profile.

I didn't expect to reach this point so fast (thanks!). I'll work on improving this right after this wave of new users. For now, just making sure that you all get your profile.

Expect 10-20k visits if it rides the front page of HN, with anywhere between 100-2000 users creating their profile.

Just requested mine! I'm not ready to abandon GitHub just yet- I use it for the "Hub", not the "Git" and this sort of change is just the kind of thing I'd like to see more of- let's hope some of these ideas get integrated into GitHub itself.

I'm still optimistic that Microsoft will be keen to make some quality-of-life improvements when they take the wheel, as a show of good faith.

We had a chat with the "profile team" at GitHub recently and they are doing a great job as we speak at improving the GitHub profiles :)
