shrug this is the exact opposite of my experience. All the really great people I've worked with have had at least something there and I've never worked with somebody with a great github profile that wasnt also a great programmer. Having a decent profile is rare enough that it cant be your whole hiring pipeline but IMHO it's a great reason to let somebody skip an assessment stage or prioritize them for interview.
