Does karma play a part in the YC selection process?
Restated: who cares?
If any prospective hire told me their handle under the notion that karma indicates anything useful, I'd show them the door.
EDIT: Exactly.
- fsk 12y agoI've seen job ads that ask for your StackOverflow ID, presumably to check your karma total there.
- dec0dedab0de 12y agostack overflow can also include code examples, and the quality of questions you ask.
- fixxer 12y agoExactly. I would put stackoverflow closer on the spectrum to github: it provides information that relates to how to the candidate performs actual work, not intellectual masturbation.
- jakejake 12y agoI'd be surprised if it was just to see one's karma points. Reading the actual comments would be more useful.
- fixxer 12y agoYeah, sure. I'm in Illinois, so I can discriminate based on political ideology... totally valuable. EDIT: My point is this can be a bad idea.
