Maybe with plethora of online info, we could implement reasonable fraud detection?
- Detect copy-pasta code
- too inconsistent language style (either code or English)
- prepare interviews questions about github profile (e.g. What made you choose library X for project Y)
Expect an industry to grow around servicing the github accounts of US-based programmers to make it look like they're doing side projects and learning certain skills. In reality, it'll be India-based college grads doing the github updates to a specified schedule -- the same college grads who presently do course assignments and online coursework for US-based students.
