I have 50+ public projects on Github.
Some of them are live, have screenshots, proper documentation and such.
Some of them gets stars or people reach out for support on these projects.
Some of them I've advertised on Reddit etc and reached 100K+ views and a lot of upvotes in their respective Communities.
I also have a substack which has reached top of HackerNews once.
All this has netted me exactly ZERO opportunities till now.
Thankfully, I'm doing Github and Substack as a hobby/learning so no expectations = no disappointment.
But the author is deluded to think these things help. You might win the lottery and the right person might see your content at the right time. But it's better to just use this time to cram Leetcode and get a job.
