Lots of people. Lots and lots.

I really don't think so.

The scope of the products you mention is small, government projects are going to be a lot bigger scale, involve trying to interface to other, possibly seriously legacy, systems.

All of which, to be successful, is going to require very good communication, a lot of which will be required during the working day.

Then there's all the usual political stuff to get past - people working for the government aren't going to be that helpful when coordinating with outsiders, is my guess. Especially when they can't rely on any deliverables.

Oooh - you're one of *those* people..? #Mercurial

no, just not accepting the geekiness of evangelising over something like a revision control system.

it is a useful resource for hiring managers to try and verify the competence of applicants.

So because I've never done any open source development I'm shite?

I've got better things to do in my spare time tbh. Have a family, ride bikes, that kind of thing.

Of course not - it's just that kind of devs I work with at the moment need to be able to show that they know their GitHubs from their Jenkins from their CI/CD pipelines and Dockerised orchestrated containers. 😉
