Ah ok that make sense. As a more philosophical question, how do you know a priori if it is noise or signal? Wouldn't you have to look at it?

- wodenokoto 6y agoThe discussion in this thread is basically this: A says: “I like it when a candidate has a github, because it gives me and idea about how they code” B replies: “please don’t. My github code, like an unknown proportion of all github profiles, is hobby code and doesn’t follow any of the standards my professional code follows.” In this case, you need a prior that says “even if it looks legitimate, the data might be completely invalid and we cannot tell from the data”
