Yeah man, many people do that. It's just hard because maybe 50 resumes come through and you breeze through twenty githubs before writing down who to call back.

Sometimes -- that's all you get ( a twenty second look), so make sure to explain your story in the cover letter.

That's great, at least those 30+ will be safe from working in your "passionate" company. I mean you just have to open-source everything you are working on these days, right? And who cares about BitBucket, only mainstream things are "cool".

PS: can you point me to Google's latest search algorithm on GitHub? Thanks.

What about if everything is in private repositories?

I assume this was for an entry level position. Look at the OP github above and you would assume that as well.

They usually would LOVE to have the problem of all "private" repositories.

Of course github isn't everything, but quite important for your first gig.
