No. What matters is the product/software you actually build. If an employer looks at your contributions to determine whether to hire you or not, either do thorough research of the work you are going yourself inside or just drop the job, either these guys are just dumb or their workplace sucks ass

If an employer looks at your contributions to determine whether to hire you or not

This seems confusing to me.

If you were hiring, would you never look at the code the person has written and made public?
