And what if we don't have a github account? It's like disqualifying a candidate because they like the wrong sports team, or make a vodka rather than gin martini

And what if we don't have a github account? It's like disqualifying a candidate because they like the wrong sports team, or make a vodka rather than gin martini. Pure idiocy.
Not to mention just because they haven't written open source in the past doesn't preclude quality work. I'd hire someone who does DO-178B over an average open source developer any day.
- quellhorst 17y agoThe point wasn't the GitHub account, although most developers I know in the Ruby on Rails land have one and put all their open source code there. Since Rails is so GitHub centric, you can see if they forked any rails apps, what they are watching, etc. If they had stuff on their own repositories or other sites like RubyForge, Google Code, etc. that is fine. When someone does open source code it shows that they are passionate about programming and that they are not doing it just for a paycheck.
