Then clearly you would be ranked very low by something like this. I think that is the whole point of this: tell the people who have solid commit history from those who don't.
- bpshaver 2y agoBut the ranking is not reflective of actual skills. That's the critique. Aside from very frequent open source contributors (and I think these people are the minority of devs), devs will tend to be "profiled" by this tool according to the dot scripts, university projects, Advent of Code, or other half-hearted projects they happen to have put on their Github. (Maybe I'm just projecting...) The issue isn't that not everyone has a Github presence, the issue is that for most people their Github presence is somewhat unrepresentative of their actual job skills.
- austin-cheney 2y agoIt is one dimension of many showing amounts of practice. I understand why that makes people sad, but that sadness just feels narcissistic.
- DeathArrow 2y agoI might be interested on people who can help me solve my particular problem. Those people might not be the same who have lots of commits on Github.
- austin-cheney 2y agoThen, logically, you would not hire them solely based on this one tool.
