>and preferably have an earth-shattering Github profile and be able to consult. As someone who is currently hiring programmer (onsite in Mexico mind you... that people don't get to excited), I loathe this trend of looking at someones public Github profile (I've seen it happen a lot in the industry). So, what do you mean I am not elegible because I have been working in proprietary projects for 20 years for my different employees, giving 110% of my time (literally 100% of paid + the unpaid extra hours) and haven't dropped all the proprietary code in my public GitHub account. that . I write code to get paid, I expect people that works for me to write good code to get good pay and to check that code into the company repos. If they do some open source coding outside job, good for them, but that does not represent what they have been doing during working hours.
