Every single job application form that has a field for your github profile is at fault for this. Juniors trying to break into the industry are trying very hard to check every box.
- SoftTalker 4mo agoI've never asked for or looked at anyone's github or personal code as part of a job interview. Too easy to fake, and too much risk that it's something proprietary that could put me in a bad spot.
- fragmede 4mo agoHuh? Proprietary code sometimes leaks on GitHub, but open source code hosted on GitHub is the opposite of proprietary. What bad spot are you going to get into?
- SoftTalker 4mo agoOften times, candidates are currently employed, likely at a competitor. Any code they write can potentially be claimed as a work product and I want no part of that possibility.
- fragmede 4mo agoFascinating. Seems really really remote so as to cause actionable trouble to me, but to each their own.

- andix 4mo agoI never ran into that. I always ask the recruiters to include my GitHub account in the summaries they submit to the technical teams reviewing applications. But they never do.
