I suppose that means for people who have restrictive agreements, networking and good CV skills are more important. If you don't have a github (or whatever online presence is being sought after), you'll lean more heavily on places that use a CV, or through your network. Getting in through a network probably means you don't need the github. Conversely, if you have an awesome github and an awesome network, then the fact you have a github is moot (unless people only know you because of it). You'll get hired anyway. So the github only really matters for the portion of people who don't have a network, and are applying for companies who care about code they can review before you even talk to them, which is mostly the HN bubble, and not any megacorps.
