This might be my imagination / bad memory but did dev.to not pull profile image from github automagically when I joined?
If so, does it not update when github profile is updated?
thanks

We auto pull profile images when you first create your account, and not any time after.
My opinion is that it'd be a bit intrusive if we auto-updated profile images, too.
I think there's room for debate there -- one of the big selling points for using GitHub auth is consistency, after all.
I have noticed that pinned repo cards in the profile don't update if the description or star count changes, which is something I'd definitely have expected to stay current.
I think we have a chron job that does update the repos every now and then, but I might be wrong. Agreed that those should stay up to date though.
That's a good point about the consistency. Also noted. :)
I find it handy to have one place to update profile pic which then updates a bunch of other places. You could add it as an option - maybe a checkbox for auto update profile pic from github
That's a good point, and wouldn't be too difficult either. Thanks for the feedback!
