That wasn't the argument though, the argument was it "discriminates against people with lives". That's an offensively wrong argument. If the argument was that it discriminates against people who don't hobby program, than yes I'd say that's correct.
- astura 9y agoThere's some subtext you missed there. "it discriminates against people with lives [outside of programming/tech/work]." as in "It should be ok, if you want to, to not spend all your time outside of work doing unpaid work." Excluding candidates that don't have a github or whatever is a signal you are looking to get employees that you expect to spend their entire lives at work. If hobbying programming is your strength, own it. Nobody is going to disregard code samples you send them. The context is employers requiring hobby programming.
