CEO at GitHub?

Looking at the PR, it's not 100% obvious that's how it would render. https://github.com/fharper/coffeechat/pull/43/commits/4f948b.... The intent might be "CEO at RequestMechanic, Technical Writer at GitHub".

On the other hand, if he did realize that this innocuous looking json update would render as CEO of GitHub, I'm not sure I hate it. I think people offering their time to chat with others is great, but I'm not a fan of this type of aggregation. If this makes it look sillier, maybe that's ok?

If someone doesn't know when to use an array, I don't want to talk to them anyway!

Yeah, don't think its malicious...but man I was confused when I read that thing.

How it renders may need to be rethought...

I love that folks are doing this.
