Researchers have checked 64,000+ GitHub projects, and found 117 vulnerabilities introduced through the use of code from popular programming tutorials.

Things like this are why I would never hire a professional programmer without an online portfolio of source code to check for Blatant Stupidity.

    Or they want to get a quick read on how you conduct yourself in technical conversations. Just because you keep saying something is "trendy" doesn't make it useless. It's just a more easily indexed form of the stuff we've always used. If you're so sure everyone else's answers are wrong but you don't put yours out there, how does that help? And if you can't do it without acting like a prick then the people interviewing you might not want to employ you. Not that it should always be a deal breaker, but some places just aren't looking for pricks.
