Ask HN: Open Sourcing your CV
Well at least part of it.
You wouldn't want people forking your address or personal numbers, but what if you could open source your skills and let other people pull it, confirm that you do indeed have those skills and get that confirmation pushed back to your public skill list.
It would be interesting to see people using their GitHub profiles to do such a thing. Considering that GitHub is a major aspect in getting hired (for techies), your peers will also be very careful to confirm any skills you have, as that puts their credibility on the line.
This may give a true reflection on what skills we think we have and what others see.
What do you guys think? I see both pros and plenty cons in this too.
