Saw this on Twitter. It seems so superficial that they would reject you based on your GitHub activity. Don’t most of the devs here uses company’s account on GitHub? https://twitter.com/manuel_frigerio/status/1629059975418089474 #engineering #software #swe
That guy is a moron
Yep
Lmfao
loooooool what a fucking moron
A very tiny minority of people are active in open source. Sometimes, people expect every company to use GitHub and there is an option to make the activity of private repos public on your activity graph. To counter this I just have a cron job that commits and pushes some random garbage every few hours. Also I can't be the only one who uses a fresh account for every company I work at. It's just a prudent thing to do. Also, If you're looking for someone who works very closely with a particular open source project for the purpose of hiring, Don't really look at their GitHub, look at the mailing lists.
You mean cron job I hope
So for him to hire you, you must either be: 1. A person who happens to contribute to open source projects as a part of your job 2. A person with so few responsibilities outside of work that you have time to contribute to GitHub projects in your spare time. Want to have a family? Sorry! Spend 50 hours a week coding and want a break so you don’t go insane? Sorry! Here’s an idea. Evaluate people’s skills and hire them based on that, instead of how they choose to spend their spare time.
I used my company Id as the secondary id in my previous job
There are all opinions of all kinds. So who cares?
That guy is an idiot

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
A company GitHub account? What? Tbh I would expect some activity on a sr devs github. I send out pull requests to our dependencies all the time to get features we need. I don’t know how anyone else manages: do they just reimplement every dependency if they need a slightly diff behavior?
Sorry I meant a GitHub account created using company email
