I especially like your point there that this will highlight people who don't have a spectacular Github profile. Lots of people complain that they have a great track record writing proprietary code and the recent focus on Github profiles is unhelpful to them. Hopefully a Starfighter score, compared to a Github profile, is more fun to develop, less intimidating to share, more meaningful when still "unfinished", more digestible by hiring staff, less entangled with employer IP, and perhaps most importantly requires less "vision" to get started.



We're also not an information source for employers; they can't "query" us for all their candidates to get scores. Anything we ever share is opt-in. We expect most of our participants not to opt-in.
