>Just to clarify, GitMatcher is primarily designed for the sourcing stage of recruitment — helping recruiters and hiring managers discover devs based on actual contributions rather than résumés or LinkedIn profiles.

Why would Github commits more significant when discovering people than LinkedIn CVS?

One contributes to GH is more-often tech or projects you're interest in, whilst a resume is going to be the alphabet soup of all tech you know.

HN is doing a good job of complaining about all the edge cases where this won't work because most of us don't contribute high-quality, novel work to GH. For example, for me, my recent GH contributions are for an ancient video game in a niche language I've never used elsewhere and my location isn't even exposed. So I won't show up. Boo hoo.

It's still a neat idea.
