I don't think this is an either or thing here. Coderbits is different from github. Coderbits is about validating claims of proficiency by pulling data from various online sources, and github is one of those sources.
I would say Coderbits in in competition with [Coderwall](https://coderwall.com https://coderwall.com), and from first impressions, yeah I'd prefer bits over wall. And also in competition with Stack Overflow careers.
- QuantumGuy 14y agoI am getting a 404 upon clicking that link but will defiantly check it out later
- elssar 14y agoTry now, I changed it from http to https. Works for me
- QuantumGuy 14y agoNope still 404
- fxnal 14y agoThis is the goal we had in mind when designing coderbits, we realized there are a lot of employers who are/should be looking at real metrics for employee quality like source code quality, knowledge, etc - the simplified idea is that your work should speak for itself. So your stack overflow score and your github repos are just a part of who you are as a developer, and although two fantastic sources of information, not a complete profile or portfolio. Our direct competition is the traditional resume.
- elssar 14y agoHeh, I was actually thinking about how Coderbits would be an excellent replacement for the traditional resume. It looks really good, nice job. Just need to add a "Make a PDF" option for those pesky companies where hiring is done by MBA/HR @#%#### and it'll be complete.
- fxnal 14y agoOoh like a "destroy the system from within the system" feature. I like it. Into the trello ideas board! Thanks for the feedback, nice to hear.
