It depends, I think, on if you want to work for someone who would use your GitHub profile as a signal for hiring.
>From my perspective - there's a couple of things that make me smile. - Github Profile - StackOverflow Profile. Neither of these are necessary. I've also rejected more candidates than I've accepted with these profiles. It's so very easy to work out who someone is. With your GitHub profile for example, it's obvious that the projects in there are exercises, and that you lack experience. This is fine now, because you lack experience, but if you add nothing to your Github, then in three years time - I'm going to count that as a negative. Things I've seen: - Github profiles containing nothing but cloned projects. - Github profiles containing unattributed rips of other peoples code. - Stackoverflow answers comprising google searches copied and pasted as "answers" StackOverflow is really useful for me & not so much in terms of the answers you give, but the questions you ask. With both these sites though, you've got a conflict between using them as a tool and using them as an advertisement. If it's too clean, I'll assume that you're not using them as a tool, and I'll discount it. If they're too dirty (And who doesn't have the odd filthy tool cluttering up their virtual toolbox), that might give me pause. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NWRUG" group.
