And that's why I think resume based hiring is shit, cause my resume isn't great, but my github and skills are stellar. But people like you would chuck my resume in the trash without thinking twice cause I'm not currently working as a programmer.

If that's true, the target of your blame should be the weak candidates who flooded Github with junk repos. And/or whichever journo or blogger started telling those people that "having a Github" was a shortcut through the hiring process.
