You assume hiring managers are looking at OSS?

In my experience, they don’t. They might click to see the GitHub profile but rarely open any repo to check the code.

I've never had a potential job reference a single thing on my github, and I've been a user since 2007. Usually I had to point out, when trying to get a job using e.g. Rails, that I had contributed significant code that they were using in production.
