GitHub has become too stressful and demanding for hobbyist programmers · community · Discussion #43862

### Body TL;DR: The enormous focus on activity tracking and how absolutely **IN YOUR FACE** it is, everywhere, completely does not jibe with my use of this service. In fact, it is so stressful that I have avoided working on my projects entirely. **The contribution calendar genuinely gives me heartburn and causes long term anxiety/depression.** … Things on GitHub that I want to disable: - All the contribution and activity tracking and all the charts displayed on the main (profile) page. - Achievements! - The Projects thing. - The Insights thing. - The Wiki thing. I have always been amazing at writing and including documentation within my content. I don't want to feel I am supposed to use your proprietary thing too. - The Security thing. I don't care about computer security. It's an a non-subject. After 30+ years, I'm sick of hearing about it. As basic user of GitHub, I certainly don't give any wingdings whatsoever about it in relation to my repos. If someone wants to write me an email about an issue, cool, I will read it, but I certainly don't need an entire framework to manage this one stupid topic. You already have the whole "Issues" thing for tracking... issues.
