Bonus 5: Better than open-source contributions - a podcast by Chris Krycho

Some things matter more than contributing to open-source software in your free time. A lot more.

It’s trendy to ask for open-source work as evidence of your interest in tech and commitment to software development. Trendy and completely wrong. Companies should not demand open-source contributions from their employees, and beyond that, should learn to recognize that profit is not the most valuable thing in the world. People are.
