Martijn I must have committed to the right GitHub repository: Swedish recruiters have now found me, within a month of coming back to Sweden.

Mark Dain Haha that sounds like the mafia are after you. "The Swedish recruiters have found me!!" -- make a run for it! I guess maybe you updated your resume with your new location? They tend to get shared around.

Martijn I don't have a public resume anywhere, apart from my LinkedIn page. But as the email was sent directly to me and not through LinkedIn (like most recruiter-spam) they must have picked up on me somewhere else. I will ask them how they got to me, as I am honestly interested in how that process works.

Jani Mustonen I do know of some organizations that follow repositories for interesting commits, so it's possible you actually did commit to the right repo. :)

Mark Dain Interesting... so hypothetically if someone wanted a new job, what repo would they commit to? Asking for a friend...

Jani Mustonen Look up what libraries your favourite organisations use. However, I have no idea how commonplace this is or how likely it is to land you an email.
