The one beef I have with the "my github page is my resume" meme is that many developers work in spaces where they do not have the ability to work with open source much. I personally have years of work checked into github in private repos, and if I showed it to a potential employer I could be sued into oblivion. Many of us work on very sensitive systems with loads of legal walls around them. Sure, I contribute to OSS in my spare time, but my public github profile is not even close to a fair representation of my professional work.
- WestCoastJustin 13y agoWhat is the actual beef though? That you are at a perceived disadvantage to someone who has a public profile?
- ctdonath 13y agoBeef? "Show me your work." "I can't, it's owned by other companies." "No job then. There's the door." And so someone who wrote a million dollars worth of software (actually got paid for) gets beat to a job by someone whose work nobody will pay for. Yeah, beef.
