I'm sure a bucket full of your source code on bitbucket will serve the same purpose when interviewing. I'm on the job hunt and in interviewing with some YC startups we haven't really gotten to my github, since they more were interested in some of the closed-source projects I've done at other jobs. I think the overall point of the article is to be able to show people you can code rather than just list it as a bullet point in a document.
- eropple 15y agoThe assumption, however, that everyone uses Github results in processes having a dependency on Github. Which is stupid.
- eru 15y agoWe use github, but have a fallback server.
- eropple 15y agoSorry--I meant social processes. If the mindset is that "Github is your resume," then the focus is that Github is your resume, and the line of thinking goes, so to speak, "if it's not on Github, they don't have it." Which is not good. While social networking makes sense to have a single central location makes sense (but not totally so, see G+ v. Facebook), writing code does not.
