Having a git account is good even if you are not committing to any
projects but it gives a sense of what you are interested in, looking at and

have one too).
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

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.

It depends on what kind of job you are looking for. Obviously, a
