`And code on GitHub gives no insight into how someone might fit into a company culture.`

github does give you this insight if you look at how the person participates in discussions in the issue tracker and code reviews. remember github's old moto, social coding? i think the author is hung up on the coding part and missing the social part.

I agree, if the person has a public repo with a bit of momentum you can even see how he manage his open source project with the community...

This is much more valuable than any list of company you work for.
