Why aren’t people moving away from Github? There’s Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What’s holding them back?

    I am pretty strict on my standards but every day I spend jobless I dissappoint my family and green squares on github are the main thing recruiters look at.

    On the bright side I found out if you change date in linux and commit, the green squares will fill in retroactively.

    May or may not write a script.

      I’ve never shared my opensource work and still gotten jobs. IMO having opensource profiles is a liability for those who don’t have well known projects. Mine are nearly all explorations into unknown stuff and quickly thrown together. If they looked at my profile, it wouldn’t be a reflection of my capabilities.
