The list of "bonus" criteria and how they come about makes me feel sick.

I am not currently looking for employment, nor am I currently particularly worried about future prospects if I was suddenly in the position of looking for employment.

But if I ended up in a position with nothing to lean on but scattering my CV everywhere, well…

A lot of my major contributions are littered across the internet, private, or even just verbal/consultancy. They're things I did for free, in my spare time.

I also avoid GitHub. If you just look at my GitHub page for extra context, you would likely miss that delivering that very GitHub page likely involved a few bits of code I wrote.

Now, I could do a better job of trying to document this stuff, so it could be easier to find… But also I can't quite imagine how that would work.
