Comment on How Github has changed the open source worldparent

This is definitely true. I'll often check to see if a candidate has a github account when making a hiring decision. Having some interesting/good code up there can definitely move the needle a bit on a hire/no hire decision.

When looking into a candidates work do any of the other platforms or services come to mind at all or is it solely Github that you check?

Their personal website + public projects?

github + whatever a quick google search turns up + anything they've linked to on their actual resume
