Some jobs ask for a github account. What can I put on it to make it interesting?
It has been a while (2+ years) that I invested in my public GitHub profile. I am thinking of going out into the market and landing a new job (Sr. SWE+) Do recruiters care about GitHub profiles these days?

I want to be competitive so I will probably have some level of these things (1 strong, full-stack project and the source for it in a couple of repos), but I already work a full time job and learn tools / practice coding outside of work as well. I also have been busy getting all sorts of things sorte...Read more
I've grown a bit tired of Data Analysis and I want to migrate to DS. The thing is that after getting so many years working with DA it's not really straightforward to jump into the other area of expertise. So I've enrolled myself in some courses (Datacamp, Coursera, Kaggle, etc). But I don't really k...Read more

How is/was it? Was the interview easier? #tech
I just had an interview with a corporate recruiter who told me I don't have enough contributions on github to be considered for their company.
