Ask HN: How to make GitHub profile appeal to employers, and still have a life?
7 points by thefastlane 3479 days ago
What do you think employers generally want to see in a github profile?

Is it better to have lots of activity, random repos, work in progress, etc? or is a small set of completed, manicured projects (2 to 6 perhaps) more appealing?

this is assuming, to some degree, that i have a life. of what limited free time i have, i can't pour all of it into have a perfect github profile.

I swear that half the recruiters who say they found about me through github really found me through LinkedIn.
