No offense, but compare your GitHub profile to someone who "grinds" like https://github.com/bketelsen https://github.com/bketelsen. There is far too much confirmation bias in regards to work-life balance and ability to actually produce. As far as clichés go, I believe that "if you do what you love, then you don't work a day in your life" == productivity.

- onebot 9y agoWasn't about the author--I totally agree with author. I was replying to the top commenter, who seemingly is a software engineer and disagrees with the author. I think if anyone has read the history of Carmack, Carmack would agree that productivity is all about incredible focus and his amount and quality of code he output would be his measure of success.
- icebraining 9y agoOnly clueless hiring managers assume that a lack of activity on Github means a lack of productivity.
- pathseeker 9y agoIn what world do you live in where you can judge someone's productivity by a public github profile?

- alexandercrohde 9y agoI'm not sure that's the right comparison, and it illustrates my point. The correct comparison is how much we help our companies, not how much code we output. I know people who produce less code but outperform on many more important metrics (salary, title, being valued at the company, whether they make their company more likely to succeed)
