In your first sentence you acknowledge many SE members contribute for different reasons to you ('rep-addicts') and it's rather arrogant to suggest that just because you do not want to promote yourself through SO, others don't. | |

The r in your was important. Other rewording just because I'm A-R.

| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:09 | comment | added | enderland | Also keep in mind, that while a few companies might love this for their hiring, the overwhelming majority of jobs/hires will still be at other places which won't use this system. So most of us not applying for the latest-and-greatest-tech-shop will have to do yet another online thing... | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 1:16 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @ColinYoung: "The internet is not a zero-sum game" It's not far off. I'm already at a huge disadvantage in the jobs market because I do not have an active GitHub profile. The last thing I need is for SO to become yet-another-thing-I-need-to-have-a-complete-and-active-profile-on in order not to be completely left behind. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 21:26 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | "How would the change you propose make the Internet a better place?" - It gives developers better tools for showing their past and getting a better job in the future. Remember, Stack Overflow isn't just a Q&A site anymore. We're expanding to provide more and better tools for developers. This answer is great if we were only focusing on Q&A, but that's no longer true. The feature is a great addition to the Jobs section being integrated. Not to mention, it's completely optional. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:43 | comment | added | Colin Young | The internet is not a zero-sum game. Adding a developer story is, to me, a logical complement to StackOverflow, and I don't believe it takes anything away from SO. If you're not interested in it, you don't need to use it. Assuming of course that SO isn't going to be overlaid with an obnoxious developer story pop-up every time you visit. If SO can provide valuable information and a source of candidate or a better way to showcase my skills, then that's a win-win to me. I think that does make the internet a better place. | |

It was determined... somewhere that rep-whore is highly offensive, and rep-addict is much less so while still carrying across the intended point.
