So what? If you're not happy with the quality of the jobs, disable having them show up on your dashboard.
What situation do you see arising where they worsen the site that they love and that has been making them good money just to "cater to" people who want to post jobs?
- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoMy initial worries were that perhaps features for the job board would be given preference over features for the repository hosting. Money talks, and things like job listings can bring a lot of money. I just want to be sure that code hosting will always be their top priority.
- helium 16y agoThat's like saying you worry that Google's search results will get worse if they focus on Adwords too much. Code hosting is the core of Github and what makes this job board possible.
- technoweenie 16y agoThey work hand in hand. A successful job board gives us the ability to focus more on code hosting and collaboration. That's the fun part of GitHub, after all.
- ekidd 16y agoIn fairness, many of the pre-Google search engines _did_ focus too much on advertising, and auctioned off 1st place listings for various searches. Google succeeded largely because they were unusually scrupulous about protecting the quality of their search results, and didn't make compromises that some advertisers wanted at the time.
