I guess the difference is that woodworking stuff you can show pictures and videos of stuff you've made. While software engineering is often sensitive internal information or team work where the stuff you did is very mixed with what others did.
- jpgvm 3y agoI would agree if I didn't have a reasonable body of work of either OSS software I have written or large OSS projects I have contributed to. The two together demonstrate I can make whatever I want from scratch and that I can work well enough with others to be part of something bigger. The fact I still get ridiculous coding "exams" etc or pointless take-homes makes me think that most of our industry still doesn't take attracting and hiring actually good talent very seriously.
