License is great but I would suggest to make it not buildable by default. This will lower the chance that your work will be used by those individuals who want's just copy and paste.

I thought about that, but I realised it goes against my goal:

  • having a portfolio
  • help others

Therefore I need it to build 😊

I believe your potential employer won't bother to compile and run your project from github.
More likely that they spent ~1-2 min looking into the code to just explore coding patterns and habits and try to evaluate you as an engineer.
