I find it wild how so many people that theoretically like open source and then…talk in terms that imply git == Github and want to know your stats on there. As if one company, which is now Microsoft by the way, is the sole arbiter of everyone’s “portfolio”.

The industry has always been just a little ridiculous in its trend-chasing and bandwagon-hopping, but fuuuuuck, it’s like you run across very few people in the field that seem to have an independent thought.

The idea that I should be grinding all the time, committing code with my personal account, on my own time, in public repos, just so that I can impress some future co-workers/hiring manager is just wild…and that’s not even getting into the LinkedIn thing…
