No, but I do care about what cases my attorney takes on pro bono or what community service my doctor participates in. It goes to showing what one does to give back to the community, whether it's geographically (putting your volunteer/civic organizations on your resume) or professionally (putting your GitHub account on your resume).

Having a doctor or lawyer who gives back is important to a lot of people, and I'm sure that translates into wanting to hire employees who give back to their communities as well.

Yes, I agree. But I'm not sure that for a doctor or a lawyer there is the same pressure to "give back to the community" as for a software developer.
