Is there even such a thing as a github influencer (people living just from github)?

I have heard of people getting interviews from their GitHub profile.

Yeah. Several years ago extremely clueless recruiters used to email people heaps. Lots of people were complaining about getting tonnes of spam from them. :(

Had to change my Location (or some similar obvious field) in my GitHub profile to "Recruiters FUCK OFF" before they took the hint. ;)

Thankfully, GitHub introduced some other way to signal if you are/aren't interested in getting a job (toggle switch?) not long after, which seemed to work.
