Personally I hear "someday it will turn into a project" all the time. More times than not it never does. Nonetheless, I'm actually ok if someone doesn't have an extensive github (or any for that matter) on an interview, because I will spend the time and talk with them. I totally understand however that more or less many firms try to filter out some of the mass piles of resumes by using github. But most people aren't like me who want to dig in and _work_ with `you`. Having said that I very much still like to see a github link. Here is why (and they are biased toward synergy in a coop manner, which is how I culturally work; you may be different): - You spent the time to do something you thought was cool (dedication) - You did the above regardless of how it looked which amongst many things to me means you have thick skin and are willing to learn (it's a two way street mind you). - you've learned to communicate with other developers => _on their terms_ - you are not living in a cave and open source doesn't come to you from only one foss org or your one fav info site. - you are willing to dive into code (forking) and making the changes necessary even if it means doing it yourself - good ole adding to the knowledge of society (you just don't do it for the money, you have more than one dimension which drives you) At least these are my opinions and I hope that at least you might be able to see one take of many on why some might want to see a github link. Btw, If anyone else feels the same way, feel free to ping me! Always nice to meet other devs that share some of my views!
