It seems like being active on GitHub is slowly becoming almost a requirement in order to land a good job.

You know, there is open source software which isn't on GitHub.

Personally I'm far more impressed with someone who has a commit bit on a project like FreeBSD, because it shows an ability to work together with other people. Having code on GitHub just shows that you're able to fork someone else's work.

There are of course large projects on GitHub, but your point still stands.
