What? Seems perfectly fine?

I know interactive "one-step-at-a-time" signup forms may not be popular among the HN crowd, but let me tell you, they sure are wonderful in non-tech enterprise. At least in my experience. I guess you could argue that the target audience for Github isn't exactly non-tech enterprise employees, but I can't speak about people outside of that user group as they are the ones I have experience with.

I must admit that I can't remember how it worked when I signed up many years ago, but I'm personally liking this new version.

(deleted previous comment... misread and didn't understand that's what it lookED like before).

The new one doesn't seem all that bad to me, either, although I did try it on a desktop machine. I see that some of the complaints have to do with how it looks on a phone.

The GH onboarding experience is so nice we've been able to get our B2B customers to participate with zero friction.

If it was some sharp-edged nerd-only thing, then we'd have to spend a lot of time developing documentation to compensate.
