if i just said i'm good at php and point at a github
where i just fill it with random text that looks roughly in the shape of a php project
will i get the job
@icedquinn I have my github linked in my CV, where I have four repositories, of which three are part of a single project, horribly unfinished, written poorly and abandoned, and one is a 73 line script for assigning song metadata based on filenames and directory structure. All three are written in Julia. Using that CV (in various versions) I got two jobs as an engineer and quite a few interviews in between, none of which were in any form related to Julia which I have yet to use in a professional context.
I don't think a single person looked further than "yup, it exists and has some repos".
@icedquinn wait, no, there's a fifth repository, abandoned JS project written when I didn't know anything about JS, in global scope, without using any ES6 features, and honestly I'm afraid to look at just how bad it is.
First of those jobs was mostly for JS.
