Open source contributions is one of many things we look at to decide acceptance. You don't need to have any open source contributions but it does help us gauge you as a developer. It mostly comes down to what you've built in the past (open source or not).
- typicalrunt 15y agoThank you for following up. What other criteria do you judge candidates by? Do you only look at publicly accessible work? A lot of work that I do is in back-end services...stuff that the public never sees. That has always made it difficult to show in a portfolio.
- whather 15y agoYeah, currently we look at publicly accessible work a developer has done. Agreed that front-end and design heavy work shows much better in a portfolio (and is usually an easier sell for the project owner) but we're working on ways to bubble back-end work to the top so it shows nicely. We get a number of back-end only type projects come through, so definitely still request an invite.
