Hehe...I have a project on SourceForge (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/techdiveplanner) and a couple on GitHub (
https://github.com/LeamHall). Considering they are "warts and all", that
might be why I haven't gotten any programming job offers.  :)

Having projects is great for the team interview but not as good for
evaluating the job notes or getting past HR. And sort of difficult to get
feedback so that I can grow. Contributing to mature or larger projects
seems difficult as it presupposes more skill and a deeper understanding of
that particular project.

For example, I really enjoy PHP but my day job doesn't use it. So I find
myself pulled towards Bash on a daily basis and secretly trying to figure
out how to convert it to something better.
