Or sudo password <pass> And yes he did take proprietary code with him (imho).
Can someone teach me when code crosses from source to proprietary? I thought purpose (function, job, intention) was open and algorithms (implementation) were proprietary. But when we get to the code level, there are some absolutes (patterns and best practices) so two coders never having met can possibly write the same code to do the same thing (especially if taught, mentored or worked under the same person/organisation).

We are really trying to move as much of our code off of that server though, into the open. So, all the modules & libraries we use are maintained whereever they have a public repo (and we collaborate there on fixes and enhancements), and only the final configuration of how they all blend together (if working for a private party that cares) is private. If it were only for the reduction in stress maintaining a big git server, its totally worth it. On Wednesday 28 August 2013 10:52:48 Peter C.

The open source stuff I contribute to (though I'm not as active as I used to be) is mainly SUSE and KDE stuff, and both of those have their own git servers. So basically, I wouldn't get a job from my (dormant) github profile. Oh well. Poor me.

It started as a place for mothballing unmaintained and unnecessary projects, and that is still most of what is hosted there. But its turned into a kind of World of Warcraft universe for programmers, where they are ranked by their commits and which projects they have trunk privileges on. I read about a recruiting company built around the idea that github reputation means something, so I guess if you arent committing to github you wont be getting a job at the coolest startups. The good old days of writing FizzBuzz and moving Mt. Fuji during your interview are over. It sounds like youve soured a little on Git. The first Git For Dummies and Git Visual Quickstart books are going to be out in a couple of months, and that is the beginning of the end as far as Im concerned. Those books mean the end of git expertise and github reputation as reliable indicators of geek status. Once a technology is adopted by the masses the extreme geeks find something more esoteric. Look at what happened to Ruby on Rails. The people stumbling their way through Rails to-do list tutorials have never even heard of DHH. So, apparently, you are ranked by commits, and which projects you have trunk privelidges on. Would that rank mean anything? And if so, what would it mean?

Obviously, a GitHub account would be irrelevant if you aspire to be a professional cook or a pilot, but disregarding those obvious exceptions, I could very well imagine network administrators who have never read, written, or otherwise shown any interest in code. But yeah, it's definitely a negative character trait not to have shown interest in programming. Why specifically GitHub, though? While I do have an account, I don't really use it that much. I favour git over cvs/svn/mercurial, but I've my own server to push against. There's a certain social aspect with GitHub, I suppose, but you could (and I do) get that via mailing lists and forums. My guess is that "GitHub" was short and tweet-friendly, and that "Not having shown any interest in programming whatsoever is like not showing any typographical interest whatsoever when crafting your résumé" was a bit too long to put in a tweet.
