"has partially become a CV/resume replacement so that it is risky to not have an active account on GH" - LOL, where? Do people even have time to check your repo

- flurdy 13y agoObviously 'we' know that most github repos are mostly rubbish experimental garbage (at least mine are), but many startup recruiters that I have met have filtering/scoring on whether a potential candidate has a github account and even a further qualifier if that account is active or dormant. I don't think they go beyond that as they probably don't have the skillset for that, nor do they check any other code hosting sites. But for the anonymous early filtering to get your foot in the door it makes sense to have a semi active github account until you get reviewed by/speak to a proper technical interviewer at which point that sugaring is unnecessary.
- _random_ 13y agoMakes sense. I might add a phrase "I don't use GitHub because I prefer ... instead of GitHub." to improve keyword matching in my CV...
