Great article. One tip I got from a senior engineer at Google is not just add pinned posts, but include the repos that you want employers to see in the README file with links and live demo or a video showing how it works. The reason is that the repositories tab lists repos based on the last activity, and you might not want employers to see the latest repo you committed too. So enhance the employer experience on your GitHub.
