I work for one too and it's hard to even discuss Git itself with someone here; most people just know SVN. The stack in my industry is very stagnant and I think a lot of people just learned what they had to when they were still young and became set in their ways. They have families now and coding has become a 9-to-5 chore; they're not interested in keeping a portfolio up to date or even trying anything new.
I'd presume most people who come to HN are interested in evolving their skill set. The common worn-out office drone doesn't visit HN.
- RemoteWorker 12y agoGit != Github. I have always used git, privately (eg: Bitbucket). And if I want to run an open source project, I can very well do that with Bitbucket too. I don't know why employers ask to see a Github profile.
- okatsu 12y agoI never said Git == GitHub. I meant that they don't even know Git, let alone GitHub.
- zghst 12y agoSadly I know this situation too well and my industry is moving blazing fast (web dev).
