Honestly an empty account is a much bigger red flag to me than an account with some messy side projects.
If those projects are personal it really doesn't matter what they look like IMO. At least you're doing something and exercising your muscles 😉
Messy account would make me less inclined to hire someone than a newly created empty account.
If someone writes terrible code when in solo projects, they will likely write messy code in my proprietary code too ;)
But I guess it might be a personal preference!
