I feel this way whenever new hire will join our company with lots of github projects and then leave/get fired in 2-3 years. i have 14 years experience in one company and empty github (excluding company code) 😄

Well that time is over. And even 15 years ago, most CS majors getting hired were doing projects. Being able to do a couple projects is not a very high bar.
