The less smart clients will judge you by your degrees, marks and certificates, which I don't believe to be a good metric. Stackoverflow score is something you get from your peers. It indicates three invaluable qualities for a developer: 1. skill/technical understanding, 2. the ability to communicate your ideas, 3. the willingness to do so. | |
| Nov 1, 2010 at 16:27 | comment | added | CraigTP | This is worrying. careers.stackoverflow.com is supposed to attract the smarter clients, you know, the ones who will have the ability and inclination to truly recognize and seek out quality devs. From this, it sounds like at least some of them want a potential employee's "worth" to be reduced down to a simple sortable number. | |
