Problem to solve

Following up from #16501, the new Company Website field a user optionally fills in during the onboarding can never be seen from the user again.

Currently, in the user profile a previous Company fields is present, which was initially added for similar reasons in #11023, see also #10999.

Now the company field seems duplicate if not redundant.

Proposal

We could probably 🅰️ remove the Company field in the user profile or also 🅱️ replace it with the Company Website (optional) so that users can edit this after the onboarding and not end up with an empty field they thought they've already filled in or have to fill in again.

I was thinking about this too, and think perhaps we could just drop Company, and not add Company Website either. There's not a great reason I can think of that a user would want to update this after onboarding, and we don't have it surface anywhere in the product. We could always surface it later if we find a reason to surface it in Product somewhere, but atm it's only used as part of the information collected during onboarding to help us understand users better, like their reasons for signing up and what they hope to get out of Gitpod. Thoughts?

DEAL—I'd love to get rid of such fields (Company, Company website) in the user profile.

We can always loop existing users through the same onboarding flow and simply adjust the page title if we want to nudge users to update their such information.
