I asked ~50 candidates for some code I could look at, and not one had anything public to show me. I think being active on GitHub and having personal projects is a great sign, but it's so uncommon that you can't really knock people for lacking it. I personally use GitHub, but don't have anything of substance public. My previous employer actively fought against us contributing to open source (even though the company operated 100% on OSS). I still did so anyway, for tiny fixes that irked me.
- dilyevsky 6y agoI was on the panel for 300+ candidates and only 2 had any substantial gh presence - one had a bunch of prototypes that he specifically created to show off during interviews (“let me show you how i implement deque in a new language over two weeks”) and the other one was legit and worked for OSS company.
