Omo na one of the big bros for here you dey shame like this? Say e no get money?

Person wey don dey do IT since I dey primary school.

Na wa o. You no try for here o.

OP, if you like doing one-time commits, stop it.
If one were to check your one-time commit messages, they do little to nothing to explain what the code you committed does.

HMs don't have time to read your entire codebase when it's not a code review, they check your commit history.
Each little commit tells HMs/collaborators a story, shows your thought process while writing said code blocks, and makes it easier for them to choose questions to ask you.
Seeing one commit with thousands of code will put me off if I were a HM or wanting to work with you as a collaborator/maintainer, and tells me you don't test functions you wrote (even if you have a folder with test cases, and you do one commit, it shows you are a bad programmer, and your code might have hidden bugs unaccounted for).

Overall, everyone wants to see your progress while creating a given project.

Nobody cares if you can write ez/mid data structures off your head, most people can.

If a team member asks for clarification over your 'readable' code, and you can't be bothered to explain, but complain that it's 'self-explanatory', you're off the team (and the organization, given the way you act here it'll be no different irl).

Every company reserves the right to recruit however the want. Github is a version control system that is use by many companies and It's an industrial standard.

A recruiter that ask for your github may also want to be sure you know how to use the platform. In fact some recruiters will go at length and ask to see your contributions to open source

Whether the code there is yours or not is a different thing (no body owns a code 100%). You own a code if you can defend it.


I wonder what kind of programmer shy away from github.

Karleb:


They need to give you award for the most controversial developer on NL. Female category.

TastedFriedBumBum will get it for the male category.

My belle wan burst,

So what do you say about someone like me that has next to nothing on GitHub and few private non public projects on gitlab and dozens of projects backed up on my Google drive, hard drive and phone SD Card? And hv been coding while u were still in diapers?

Omo as you are gainfully employed in whatever Shitty naija tech Startup, just chop your Salary quietly and cane your line you hear. Leave them alone it's survival of the fittest, so far they can deliver whether by copy & paste, what matters is they deliver.

Requirements by most of these startups are really ridiculous, i feel the work-reward ratio is really poor.

Exactly, imagine trying to write every single code yourself, as far as you can defend it and it works then it's totally fine.

Yes o, that's why I called them Shitty Startups. They can't even come up with an intelligent name for their company sef, if u see some of the names of these startups very useless. Cuz they want series A funding or series B from one VC.

I don't have a github account but have being working for a top email marketting company in USA for over 5 years with an annual salary in $$$$$. I also use my free time to develop a SAAS software which earn me $$$$$ per month.
Money is easy to earn online but most Nigerian developers arè just lazy to brain storm for ideas and earn decent cash instead they preffer working for useless companies in Nigeria and earn stipends.

Maybe they just don't have the kind of mindset and thought patterns that'd enable them to look for opportunities, like you do.

Experience on the job or exposure from a close relative is required to be able create a money making SaaS.

What's up with Devdevdev, it's been 3 months. Waiting for another rant

Devdevdev:
Most juniors just copy and paste code they don't understand, or clone projects from youtube tutorials. Yet a hiring manager thinks that this is a reasonable requirement for hiring a junior dev?

I swear to God I have gone through almost every github profile of junior Nigerian devs that I have seen on twitter and all I see in their code is copy and paste.
I mean I saw a girl who claimed to have been coding for 1.5 years. So I went through her github. I saw a simple crud backend api so I clicked on it. Then I saw a controller function where she used .then on a request, and in the same function used try and catch for another. I noticed a complete inconsistency in coding style which proved that she was just copying and pasting chunks of code. Imagine not being able to write a simple crud API yourself. Yet some company is going to take her seriously because she has projects on her github and her github is lightening up like a stupid Christmas tree.

Below is a quote from a hiring manager on Reddit that proves my point.

"As an interviewer/HM I have never clicked a candidate's GitHub link. I see stories on here occasionally about a candidate's github helping them get a job, but I have never witnessed that myself, and every tech leader and senior engineer I've talked to has confirmed they never look at the githubs of candidates being interviewed.

No doubt there are some companies out there who care, but in my experience they are so few it just seems really odd how obsessed people can be with it on these subs.

What comes up in interviews are discussions about the projects they've worked on. I am far more interested in hearing them explain their understanding of a language, platform, framework, trend, or design pattern than seeing a bunch of projects they pushed to some repo that they may or may not have written and may or may not even understand. Don't care.

I had a candidate recently brag about the sophisticated desktop app he made for a previous employer and all the time he spent on it. It was built around a particular 3rd party API, so I asked some questions about how the api authentication works, how he hooks into it, if it's a library vs local service vs public service, etc. He basically couldn't answer any of those questions but kept insisting on demoing the app for me.

It sounded like someone else had acquired the API, set up the authentication for him, set up the host, scaffolded a project, and then gave him a link to the API documentation and he filled in the blanks. No"

Check out the GitHub profile of this backend developer. I need your most honest and brutal thoughts on it 👉 https://github.com/jahdevelops
If you don't mind you contact him to get His insights on most open source projects he's been involved in. He's definitely a good bet
