The point though, surely, is that having good grammar shows you can write not that you're a writer. The corollary being that passing a technical test means you can code not that you're a good developer.
I think it would be a step forward if it became standard practice to expect an online portfolio of a developer's work.
- HerpDerpLerp 10y agoIt is only a certain sphere of devs that have such a portfolio. All my work is done for money and I don't have the rights to show it to anyone else.
- antisthenes 10y agoThe unwritten hand-waved expectation is that you should develop side projects in your spare time. I find that this is incredibly discriminating against people who have other hobbies and don't like to spend 80 hours a week coding with only 40-50 of those being paid. Where the programmer/photographer analogy fails is that usually, the photographer retains the right to the vast majority of their creative body of work, whereas a developer might not have anything client-facing to show at all, even if they have side projects.
