While I definitely see the advantages of contributing to open source, I get the feeling the article overstates the importance in landing you first job.
In my case at least, nobody seemed to care about my open source contributions or at least they didn't tell me.
Is it really the case that my GitHub / GitLab profile acts as a resume these days? Wouldn't that create kind of a filter bubble for recruiters? Not everyone has time to contribute to open source additionally to their regular work.
