Will an algorithm pick you for your next coding job?
,----[ Quote ]
| The former CTO of Dopplr has hacked
| together an algorithm to find the best
| (open source and public) coders in whatever
| location he's in. A taste of the future?
|
| [...]
|
| And, inevitably, he's put the source code
| on Github.
|
| Your task: see how you would rate against
| that system. And consider: is the future
| going to be about doing more in "social
| programming", where what you've contributed
| becomes key to your hiring?
