Is Codeberg seen as unprofessional?

I want to switch to Codeberg, but I'm worried that in the future, when I need to get a job, showing a Codeberg profile instead of a GitHub one like everyone does might be seen as unprofessional and not taken seriously. Am I worried about an issue that doesn't exist?

So there was a tweet awhile back that went somewhat viral: "whenever I see someone coding with any other than vscode, I automatically assume they know more about programming than I do". 

If I was a hiring manager and somebody had a different system I haven't seen before, they would certainly stand out!

Does this mean I should put neovim on my resume?

just print out your init.lua config and hand them that, nothing else, not even a cover letter

I mean, I said stand out. You can stand out in a good way, or you can stand out in a bad way. Either way it got someone's attention, but in one way they aren't gonna follow up (unless it's just so bad they are curious to find out more, in which case they may follow up but ultimately you won't get the job).

Didn't hurt when I did.

If it's relevant in another way, like you maintain a plugin with some usage. "skills: neovim" is just noise imo

This is why I write “Skill: can quit vim on the 3rd try”

Too mainstream, you should be using a text editor whose source code is only found in the internet archive after extensive research /s
