How Developers Can Get More Matches: 2024 Playbook for Turning Code into Chemistry
Leverage GitHub green squares, README humor & API metaphors to 4× your match rate this quarter.
Your commit history is green—your inbox should be too. Follow this playbook to refactor your profile into a match magnet.
#1Pin Your Passport Photo
Replace default GitHub avatar with a 500×500 headshot; profiles with real faces get 2.4× more click-throughs to LinkedIn—and the same heuristic applies on dating apps.
#2API-Style Bio
Document yourself like docs: /users/{id}?fields=name,age,height,traits=witty,kind&seeking=long-term. Nerdy but scroll-stopping.
#3Key Takeaways
- Human headshot > Octocat
- RESTful bio invites queries
- Quote xkcd sparingly—once per profile max
