People always look at their tax expenditure in terms of services they are provided. It's not a product! It's a social contract that collectively binds us - we will provide a safety net for everyone, in terms of lifelong healthcare

One trap I've fallen into in the past doing this is trying to make the "perfect" github. It could easily become a full time job - you really need a few goals you want to meet and to reassess them regularly

I've got a github - I put maybe a paragraph under a personal profile running through the things I'm working on and what they all do (briefly mentioning the stack they use). It seems to work ok and good employers will take a look a

You've gotta look at it this way - when github updates do I even notice? Have you ever had a bug that stopped you working on github? I personally use github all the time and have never seen a bug on it. I trust it completely (well.. te
