Don't bother applying here if your github doesn't look like this:

  $ git log --oneline
  deadbeef5 (HEAD -> master): Revised documentation of frobozz widget.
  0cafef00d scrot_compress: fixed rare recursion case.
  5ca1ab1e1 image_convolve: use thread pool for better performance.

This is cute but it works in the opposite for me, looks very unprofessional and gives the impression you get distracted with nerdy internals instead of building product.

  • On the other hand, where I work we want people like that. Not every place is a CRUD slop shop with joined at the hip SPA that needs more meat for the ginder. Research and specialized optimization roles exist
