A couple examples: If someone is putting in full time hours coding, this is

This is a perilous road to go down.
Open source contributions are a _fantastic_ way to build up skills and
verifiable experience, and a strong background in such can weigh heavily
in a candidate's favor. But it's one of many complex factors to consider
when hiring for a position, and no simplistic policy can capture that.
Setting up an expectation that volunteering will ensure a job offer
makes for a pretty toxic relationship.
