There is one problem with the Github account as a "certificate". It requires a significant amount of work on the part of an employer to evaluate a Github account -- they have to get a technically adept person to spend an hour or two reading it before they really learn anything from it. It takes 30 seconds for an HR person with few specialized skills to understand whether one has a certification or not.
- artellectual 14y agoMany companies I've worked with in the past used to look at certificates they eventually migrated to the philosophy of no code sample no application because they had so many 'master's degree' computer science students who couldn't explain what polymorphism is. Before you buy a pair of shoes u try it out right? You wouldn't blindly just buy it.
