To argue that GitHub won't help you with hiring doesn't just require showing that it's not perfect, it requires that other methods of assessing people (Interviews? Degrees?) absolutely dominate it. But the arguments made against github would work against any such method. Yes there are impressive people without an impressive github page, there are also impressive people who fail interviews, don't have degrees, etc. > Not only are GitHub profiles not that helpful for hiring developers, it also seems like they aren't that much help for developers that are looking for work. Why try to dissuade people from something they aren't doing anyway?
