- rtpg 10y agoWell you can tell them this, right? The essential part is having some code out there in the open. I imagine if you host your projects on bit bucket it's OK too. Though I agree that a lot of skilled people don't have the will/feel the need to build a public profile of their work.

- jghn 10y agoIMO this is a growing issue with the ubiquity of Github. Github is increasingly becoming a de facto resume, which is a problem for people who contribute to things that aren't on Github. This is also a problem for would-be Github contributors. As an example, Gitlab looks interesting, but I'd be concerned that potential employers would never spot my work there.
