This tweet is about hiring, but don't let that stop you from explaining plumbing or open source to me.

I get where this is going & it's worth pushing. But if you did all the plumbing for the train station I use every day and has great bathrooms, that matters when I'm hiring for a commercial job. And if you do a lot of volunteer plumbing for Habitat for Humanity, I do care.
-
Caring about that is fine. Requiring it is where things go wrong. If you require it, you're only hiring from one very narrow group.
-
1) People with enough spare time to comfortably have side-projects (and all the privilege that comes with that lifestyle). 2) People with unhealthy work-life balances who will easily burn out. 3) People that don't have their PD cravings met by their current workplace. Ugh.
-
4) people that aren't constrained by the IP clauses in their current contract.

I couldn’t fit it in! :D

... Or talk about it because of the metainjunction

You should clog a sample toilet and ask them to fix it while you watch.
-
And ask them to design an optimal bristle placement on a toilet brush on a whiteboard while talking outloud so I know how they think.

Preferably turning up the right castle first try.

Leaving all of her staff as hostages of the remnant of Koopa Troop? There's a reason SMB2 (J) aka The Lost Levels gives extra reward for a warpless run that saves all Toads.

And that's why I gave up on coding... the life burned me out. I don't have the health to work to pay my bills then work all of my free time in personal projects too. I'm still recovering. Even a boring admin job is too much for me right now.
-
I really want to start a community for the truly burned out. I feel like other communities talk about it now but as if it's something pretty easy to fix, just get over. It's not.
-
My own way of coping with burnout was to force myself to get a hobby. Something I could do cuz I enjoyed it without having to be good at it. It took deliberate effort. I auditioned several before quilting & embroidery. (Note: cats and beading do not coexist.

I actually saw a therapist a few years ago who advised me to do just that. Do something enjoyable rather than just rest all the time. I'm doing a cross stitch at the moment.
-
Gardening. Reading. Meditation. Going to the movies. Reading some more. Hanging out with friends. I did concert photography for quite a while, but THAT turned into work, so now I just go out to music when the mood strikes me. :)
-
I have a lot of feelings about this. I had a lot of amazing hobbies that kept me going over the years. But I also ended up without much of a professional network in software, which had real disadvantages. I guess a good compromise is find a job that lets you network hard at work.
-
My feeling is any job that requires me to network is not a job for me. I want a 9-5 job that doesn't eat into my actual life. Work is work and I like to draw the line at 5pm. I'll never be "successful" that way, but I'd rather be happy.

You seem to be confusion Open Source with unpaid...
-
I don't think so. You do your greatest work when you're doing it for your gratification, free of tough deadlines and satisfaction of managers. Although it doesn't have to be unpaid, unfortunately it typically is (at least in the beginning)
-
Not everyone has the luxury of being able to work on FOSS in their spare time Not everyone has the luxury of being able to work on FOSS for money Hence the original argument (GitHub contribution graphs are a bad hiring filter)
-
I agree but you're unlikely to produce your greatest work if your motivation is to just do your job, is my point.
-
What about people who are single parents or carers? Or they have to work multiple jobs because of the shitty place they live? Or or or etc. Your arguments are pure privilege tbh.
-
There are so many open source related jobs now, not doing any shows you don't care about it. Software engineers are privileged, all of us, everyone, don't make it sound like we're not.
-
wtf man? Plenty of software engineers out there with issues in their lives, crippling debt, mental health issues, families to look after. As for open source jobs most will only employ if you have previous FLOSS xp and remote xp, which for the exact same reasons excludes good ppl.
-
You hit the points I wanted to make. Treating software developers with the expectation that they should be drinking the no excuses kool-aid like they are part of some elite CrossFit club is dangerous and toxic. My hope is this attitude is caught early in the interview process.
