OP here: I ran a poll on Twitter [1] that attracted 827 votes asking the question of what site best represents a developer's skills and experience. Github was by far the #1 choice.

2 year old article but use the cached URL:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:yFBroqO...

And there's a lot of discussion from when the article was submitted to HN two years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6738952

Interestingly, I got a 404 before a reload showed the page just fine.

IIRC, the author blocks HN referrers.

Wow. I've never heard of that before. Any idea why? Would love to hear that story.

And trying to click on "About" in the sidebar returns a 403 for me. What a tease!

Anyone else getting a 404 error?

Not sure why this is on the front page if its 404.
