I see it more and more these days, especially among recruiters and HR departments.&lt;p&gt;I believe there&amp;#x27;s an inverse correlation between the value one places on green squares and their understanding of what it actually takes to build software...&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;931&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;931&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;447&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;447&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;2461&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;2461&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;2390&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;2390&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

It surprises me that some do.&lt;p&gt;Same. I&amp;#x27;m only now realizing some people actually do care about that, from the replies to this thread. I think it&amp;#x27;s weird. I&amp;#x27;m not religious (or theist for that matter), but caring about these things reminds me of Matthew 6:7-8:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;But I can see how &amp;quot;gamefying&amp;quot; things to get improved consistency and thus better results can be beneficial to some. Not for me, sadly.</text></comment>
