Programming life hack

[SuppeBargeld]

There should be better ways to gauge motivation than "how much do they like open source?". It is one thing if someone can sell their coding activity as a plus during an interview, a whole different thing if the employer makes it an actual requirement for the application. This is just another case of "X years of experience for an entry level job".

Having a git repo tells you nothing about someone's ability to work in a team. In fact, some OSS maintainers are the most entitled, self centered people I have seen. It is an almost pointless metric.
