Developer 1 is just fine with sufficient networking/publishing.
I don't have a single commit on github. But I have no problem with job offers. I suspect that's because I have author credits on a lot of refereed publications in the past few years and a bunch of recent patents, mostly single inventor. I'd say that's worth more than a bunch of code on github myself, but to each their own.
- guelo 13y agoPersonally, I wouldn't hire you because you file patents.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoI can't decide if I'm reading that correctly. Which do you mean: 1) I would not hire you and the reason is "because you file patents" 2) If I did hire you, the reason would not be "because you file patents"
- numo16 13y agoPretty sure it's #1, based on HN's general feelings towards software patents
- varelse 13y agoAnd I'm cool with that as I don't get along well with ideologues of any slant anyway. Mark me a bad cultural fit. As for my reasons, I filed them defensively with large companies so that I wouldn't get out-patented by some Texas Troll and then face the situation of my supposed prior art versus their big money. Deal with the devil I know, but that's the suboptimal choice I made. And life is full of those.
