No, it is not my CV. I share and star everything I find interesting. I push any code I want without worrying if it is cool or not. I am a programmer, not a pop star.

Which is quite interesting to see.

Actually the posts about GitHub being or not being your resume are playing the devil's advocates and they will be more or less closer to the truth depending on your potential employer profile.

I keep receiving recruiter emails for "J2EE, Hibernate, JBoss, Struts" developer positions "that might fit me". None of those keywords apply to me and that kind of recruiter will certainly not know about GitHub.

In the end your resume is whatever preferred avenue to know you a recruiter might choose. That could for instance include LinkedIn, or the infamous "CV as a Word document" that a lot of companies keep asking for.
