This is bad advice. No one has time to look at your open source patches and evaluate them.

Several hiring managers have told me this.

The last time I was asked to screen and interview candidates I took the time to check out all portfolios, including github/gitlab/sourceforge profiles and projects.

In a few cases the candidate's portfolio work was decisive to greenlight and reject job apllicants.


It's better than "be good".

Getting interviews isn't the hard part. Getting through them is.
