Exactly. I currently work in financial sector and if my employer found out that I post code to GitHub, I would get fired instantly. Also, I don't like doing for-free programming during my spare time -- I have more in life than crunching code all the time. Yes, I do have some programming related side projects, but I don't feel like posting them publicly as they are not polished to my usual coding standards. If some companies see programmers as some robots that write code 24/7 (even better - for free), I don't mind them skipping my CV as we probably are on different boat anyway.
