I think you could easily substitute 'a public repository of your code and open-source contributions' for 'Github' here, but the former is shorter and conveys the same idea.

You also seem to imply that experienced developers [i]wouldn't[/i] be using a cutting-edge tool to share code. Why wouldn't they? Does 'experienced' have to mean 'curmudgeonly'?

"Link to your code, big and center" wouldn't have been that many more words, if that was truly what was meant.

"You also seem to imply that experienced developers [i]wouldn't[/i] be using a cutting-edge tool to share code. Why wouldn't they? Does 'experienced' have to mean 'curmudgeonly'?"

Straw man. My implication is only that it's foolish to screen for experience using a trendy tool that is adopted by only a tiny percentage of programmers.
