alt Hacker News> Given several presentations at conferences discussing anything from your project as a library author, maintainer or at a company showcasing your engineering expertise.
What sort of positive signal is this supposed to be? Why would presenting point towards a productive employee?
I agree.
In my experience, this correlates more with soft skills and “one man band” founder/maker companies that tend to sell training products or (if they do exist in a company environment at all) invariably work in DevRel and aren’t pushing code.
