How to create a self updating GitHub Readme

Inspired by Simon Willison's blog post, the author enhanced their GitHub profile by creating an introductory Readme that auto-updates using a script. They set up a repository named after their username, which displays its Readme.md on their profile page. To automate updates, they employed GitHub Actions and drew on examples from Simon and Brett's repositories, learning valuable lessons such as initially focusing on functionality before optimization, which in this case involved reducing multiple HTTP requests to a single file parse. The author also utilized tools like pip-tools for dependency management, type hints, jinja templating, pathlib, and regex to improve code modularity. Encouraging others to create and maintain a personalized Readme, they highlight the benefits of integrating dynamic content from relevant data sources.
