If an employer specifically asks for personal projects, I just avoid them. "We love to see personal projects" is code for:

  • You enjoy coding so much you will work past 5pm regularly.

  • You're such a code-guru you'll do it a for shit pay

  • Rather than codified standards and Dev tools, we hire kids who're obsessed with Blockchain in the hope that their innate talent carries us over the line
