Discussion on: Should I apply for jobs with lot's of small projects which I already have, or take the time to build a full app?

Honestly, not getting the interview, is was I fear. If I get interviews and they go bad. That would be feedback, but if I don't.

I know I'm overthinking and procrastinating. But that's truly why I'm asking all these questions, because I fear they'll see the 6 years of no experience and just ignore me.

Though I found one of your comments where you say "If you've been programming for 5 years, then it's 5 years experience. I don't care whether that was paid or hobby work." which is kind of where I'm at. Even though my priority was something else, programming was a hobby. Though, unfortunately I only recently started to make sure I don't leave the projects I work on get deprecated and lost.

But yes, even though it's not rational I fear that if I start applying without knowing what they might want I might never get to know what I'm not getting interviews (at least)
