"get over yourself and do it" General advice, including Github profiles.
I've hired dozens of developers, and Github gets a passing glance. It's aspirational, usually passion projects. Great context of the sort of technology you are into in your spare time.
What hiring managers are looking for:
Are you willing/able to learn
Are you a good teammate?
Can you understand WHY customers use our software and how we add value to the product.
All that said, if you are a student, or entry level, by all means build a Github portfolio of projects. Build something useful and functional. Don't stress over squashing commits and looking like a genius in your git history. Software development is messy, and fun.
Hi Brian! I am on the other side of the spectrum, definitely not a student but a lifetime learner (well, if one is not a lifetime learner one is cooked after some age), definitely very experienced, but looking for collaboration to port my current GUI techniques on the web. I would appreciate if you could give me some feedback on mine: github.com/nilostolte
