Interesting. There were posts on HN here recently were tech recruiters said that they look at github more than at resumes (with lots of people commenting that their githubs look like what you described and aren't representative at all).
- roenxi 4y ago3 comments on HN can look like a crowd. It is still 3 people. Even a busy thread might be a few tens of people. There are too many good people out there who don't have interesting public github repos. It isn't a decisive signal although it might help a resume stand out from the crowd.
- onion2k 4y agoEngineers who are involved in hiring people for their teams have wildly different goals to tech recruiters, and possibly a much better understanding of recruitment in a lot of cases. Tech recruiters (bad ones) don't care if someone's skills match a role. They're happy to waste everyone's time on the small probability that they'll get lucky and land a candidate. I'm not happy to do that.
