    I’m not sure I was misled, what you said was explicitly taught to us at University. I think my degree is the #1 thing on my resume, but of course I also had projects, a few certificates, and multiple attempts at more specific fields.

    Back when I was applying, my GitHub activity was pretty solid green.

      It’s weird because everywhere I’ve ever worked routinely hires people who don’t even know how to make a commit, or anything at all really.

      For some reason even those people are somehow jumping ahead of competent people like you in the queue. It’s also annoying for us because we have to deal with the bad ones that HR delivers.
