The software I write controls expensive hardware. I can't easily show things like that on github.
Besides that, it is just plain wrong to require us to have side projects on github. I love what I do and I'd much rather spend time tweaking my work code to perform better.
- shados 9y agoOther professions with similar subjective requirements need similar things to get a job (hell, some need it to even be able to get in school). Some you might even be working with on a daily basis and they make a third of your salary. I'd dare say the salary the average software engineer command these days (especially in North America) has that baked in the compensation. If you're not in the US and make a salary more in line with professions that have similar level of efforts, fair enough, you might have a point. Personally I just filled up my github account with 1-2 projects in 2-3 weeks last time I was looking for a job. A few thousand lines of code is enough to get the point across.
- brailsafe 9y agoJust because you'd rather spend your time on work code doesn't mean it's 'just wrong'. That said, if you can show what you've worked on in some capacity then I don't see why having extra code on just GitHub would be necessary.
