Ask HN: Getting back to the hiring scene post-hiatus (& all the tech layoffs)?

I see the benefit of that. At my previous jobs, I worked on some big name products in use today. I don't have a public personal dev repo profile (with all of those years working under heavy NDAs).

The private projects I worked on afterwards were minor pet projects for day-to-day life improvements (I don't think those matter).

I think this is maybe one place to begin with: create some public projects.

Thanks.

@rabbits_unite I have heard that even seemingly mundane pet projects are considered a good idea to show...something about potential hiring managers having access to see how your code looks, how you document stuff, how you can potentially organize a project, etc. Of course, if the role you will apply to has less to do with coding, then this matters less i supoose. Also, this is only something that i have heard...Not sure if it would be the "thing" that gets you hired or not. But, i guess if it pertains to the role you're appying to, then i guess it has some logic with it.
