How long before this kind of thing causes GitHub to feel the pressure of a[nother] DoS?
It doesn't look like this makes a number of pushes, just a number of commits.
correct. I should probably add "git push" to the instructions.

Public and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill, in fact they're not a measure of anything other than public and open-source contributions. Personally I try to keep all of my work as private as possible. There is no particular reason, I'm just a private person. Do you really want to work for a company that measures competence based on pissing-contest and attention-whoring mentality?
"Public and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill..." Exactly. Because they're falsifiable. I'd personally rather work for people who value skill, not falsifiable data.
right but many companies try to take a shortcut - they think the best measure of skill is github.
To be fair, it's hard to qualify "skill", so shortcuts are very tempting.
