On the note of GitHub commit history, incredibly off-topic: I hate when potential jobs ask for my github profile (sometimes as a strict requirement). All of my (4+ years) profesional work has been in private Bitbucket repos so my github is a random college project and some community project I did one weekend. Should I be feeding the "grind mentality" and contributing to open source or doing random side projects to fluff it out? Am I the odd one out?
- jypepin 5y agono you're fine without a filled github account. most engineers don't write code during their free time and, like you, work in private repos for their corporate job.
- seoulmetro 5y agoNo, you shouldn't. It's obvious that any job that "requires" this, will not be a job that you want to be in. I do all my work on private repos. My github looks bare. If they want code I'll send them code. If they want my github profile, I'll send them that and tell them all my code is private, hit me up for it/examples.

- hop34s3w 5y agoWhat is "grind mentality" in this context? Is this common in the programming world too?
- astrea 5y agoAt least from my (single data point) perspective it is. I feel the pressure to always be developing the next greatest thing in the next greatest language or framework and producing conference/journal-worthy research papers (I work in research).
