I have no side code projects to show

To be completely fair, if you are showing a project you have done, it should be a good representation of your abilities. Treat it like how other industries treat "portfolios" or "writing samples".

Seems like a lose-lose:

- If you don't show side-projects, you don't have passion

- If you do show prototype-quality side-projects, you aren't skilled

- If you do show production-quality side-projects, you aren't sufficiently focused on your daytime job.

Maybe a good balance is to show a very small number of production-quality side-projects: like just pick your top 1-2 things? (Just brainstorming)

That's a backdoor work sample. I personally don't do work samples unless paid...
