That a person is applying for a programming job is the first, and most important, positive sign of interest in programming. These days, in fact, thanks to the ever increasing emphasis on having a github profile as part of the recruitment process, I view having a github profile as being little different from plugging in the Language Alphabet in the right places on a resume. It's empty filler that may or may not have any use.
