After years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern:

Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built.

So I built GitMatcher.

It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on:

Their public repos

Commit history

Originality and usefulness of code

Patterns that show consistency and real skill

No keywords. No job titles. Just code.

GitMatcher is useful if you're:

- A recruiter tired of resume roulette

- A founder looking for a technical co-founder

- An OSS maintainer searching for genuine contributors

It’s still early, so I’d love your feedback especially around what signals you’d care about most when discovering devs.","time":1744117622,"title":"Show HN: I built a tool to find devs based on code, not LinkedIn titles","type":"story","url":"https://gitmatcher.com/"}],[39705788,{"by":"throwaway_08932","descendants":311,"id":39705788,"kids":[39706190,39706392,39706470,39706379,39706155,39706314,39787832,39706322,39706337,39706558,39707015,39706183,39706686,39706734,39706411,39706485,39706219,39707504,39706694,39706273,39706669,39706210,39706362,39706850,39707162,39707633,39706180,39708756,39706782,39707213,39706184,39708112,39731449,39706430,39706513,39714612,39707756,39706347,39706204,39722627,39706723,39706377,39710403,39730890,39706752,39706401,39706754,39706891,39706756,39706866,39707384,39706699,39708371,39706348,39709463,39706510,39706260,39706613,39706305,39706130,39706387,39706171,39706332,39706213,39710847,39739808,39717298,39784722],"score":864,"time":1710432817,"title":"Glassdoor updated my profile to add my real name and location","type":"story","url":"https://cellio.dreamwidth.org/2024/03/12/glassdoor-violates-privacy.html"}],[38673499,{"by":"webmaven","descendants":149,"id":38673499,"kids":[38674903,38674922,38673971,38673687,38674225,38675204,38673860,38674159,38675803,38674276,38675964,38673806,38673636,38675645,38674033,38674934,38674882,38675262,38677572,38673920,38674278,38673643,38674913,38748946,38766782,38781076,38736892,38688231,38682819,38702662,38682632,38740293,38753414,38673680,38673773,38673958],"score":94,"time":1702827121,"title":"Goodreads asks users to help combat 'review bombing'","type":"story","url":"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/17/1219599404/goodreads-review-bombing-cait-corrain"}],[36150110,{"by":"nickwritesit","descendants":400,"id":36150110,"kids":[36152086,36150713,36150834,36152931,36150550,36151821,36150376,36150591,36150696,36150408,36150413,36151057,36152424,36150472,36152678,36151036,36150486,36150452,36150258,36154007,36151421,36151217,36152567,36151844,36151556,36151688,36158358,36153768,36151818,36153284,36151929,36153356,36152919,36152185,36154810,36151503,36151248,36152089,36153518,36154821,36154053,36151616,36151638,36154080,36152139,36153302,36152182,36153416,36152781,36152380,36150836,36155447,36150701,36175134],"score":191,"time":1685621957,"title":"What If Friendship, Not Marriage, Was at the Center of Life?","type":"story","url":"https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/10/people-who-prioritize-friendship-over-romance/616779/"}],[34206559,{"by":"neontomo","descendants":252,"id":34206559,"kids":[34208560,34207529,34206766,34206685,34206974,34210063,34206693,34206678,34211754,34206898,34208449,34207120,34207105,34207554,34207015,34206774,34206801,34207264,34211304,34213062,34206983,34207072,34210314,34206653,34213204,34208213,34208656,34208387,34208184,34215299,34211566,34206839,34208924,34213159,34212934,34207571,34253679,34207817,34209100,34207869,34210481,34209939,34213818,34208431,34207341,34211435,34206657,34207630,34208911,34209293,34206662,34211376,34210557,34206864,34207227,34207490,34210157,34211570,34208078,34209999,34206748,34208591,34208511,34210338,34210522,34207329,34211423,34208867,34208167,34211360,34208515,34207499,34206870,34209619,34208799,34206883,34206796,34211018,34209129,34206990,34209062,34209101,34209853,34208342,34206930,34210589,34207034,34207587,34206679],"score":198,"text":"I've been tinkering with code since a young age and I like thinking my way through problems and understanding the way computers work, but I've never had a programming job.
