- austenallred 11y agoI doubt it, that's a very silly measuring stick. It's nice when we have a candidate with a GH history, but I'd venture a guess that 90% of the best code written by the engineers we hired was written for some other company in private repos. I can't imagine that being too far outside the norm.
- geofft 11y agoSadly, there are a lot of absolutely silly measuring sticks in widespread use in tech industry hiring. Remember when everyone was asking logic puzzles because they heard that's what MS did?

- geofft 11y agoNo, no, now they do that because they heard that's what Google did. Wrong bubble. :P
