Why GitHub is not your CV [2013]

  OP here: I ran a poll on Twitter [1] that attracted 827 votes asking the question of what site best represents a developer's skills and experience. Github was by far the #1 choice. [1]: https://twitter.com/crtr0/status/681327621548818433 https://twitter.com/crtr0/status/681327621548818433

  Interestingly, I got a 404 before a reload showed the page just fine.

    IIRC, the author blocks HN referrers.

      Wow. I've never heard of that before. Any idea why? Would love to hear that story.

    And trying to click on "About" in the sidebar returns a 403 for me. What a tease!

    And there's a lot of discussion from when the article was submitted to HN two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6738952 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6738952

  Not sure why this is on the front page if its 404.
