Commenters, please stop generalizing from your own anecdotes and then representing the generalization as a universal truth. Some examples from the thread: - "there is no reason to spend the time looking at what people have done on GitHub" - "Employers don’t really care [about a github link]" - "None of that extracurricular stuff matters" There are literally hiring managers in the thread saying that they like seeing Github links, and have hired founders of one-person companies. So these generalizations are false. If you have evidence that your opinion represents the overwhelming majority, feel free to post it. If you're talking about FAANG, then you should qualify your statement. Most programmers don't work at FAANG.
