OP here. More shocking to me is that I have quite a bit of published code that these folks can inspect, and running apps they can run -- in the languages and technologies they're interested in. Yet no one asks me about reviewing any of that.

Self-published repos are mutable. It tells us what you think good code looks like, but not how many iterations it took or how much help you had.

The best code is code that is iterated and looked at by more than one set of eyes. I wish all my code had been mutated to its ideal form!

Sure, but we need to evaluate you apart from everyone else who may have worked on it.
