I’ve got (for want of a better term) job “invitations” via email which explicitly mention my Stack Overflow profile, from companies that boast a 12/12 score on the Joel Test and which honestly seem like extremely cool work environments.
And I know that the same has happened to several other people.

I don’t believe for a second that I (or any of the other people) would score a job without an interview. Like most others here, I think that Stack Overflow may help you to get exposure on the web. But that’s all. It merely gets your name out. It shows that you’re active and motivated but not whether you’re qualified.
