github is not your fucking resume, whippersnappers.

Couldn't agree more. Once, in an interview, I was asked for a link to my "Github resume". I replied, "I don't have one. I get paid to write code." I got the job.
Everything I've ever done is on my github account. I also get paid to code.
Well, for the majority of us that is not the case. If you work for Mozilla (or something like that) then great, but to expect the same from everyone is just ridiculous.
Where do you work? (At most companies I have worked for, I can't even talk about "what" I am doing for them, forget about releasing code.)
I agree with you. But please do read the article.
