I have seen more than one great developer with SO score < 1000. Some people like to code rather than browsing SO.


Exactly, StackOverflow scores and even upvotes on Hacker News or Reddit is a neat metric, but in the same sense that commits pushed or lines of code written are. They hold some value but they are by no means determine quality or the value of a person's contributions.


Like I said - it's an indicator, not a requirement.
